Getting an OEM (DGX) Spark is good if you want complete control or an excellent learning environment. You can do much more than just run llms for tokens (which will be generated much slower). They have become much more pricey tho...
Kimi K3 is good at the high end, DS 4.1 flash is good, most flash models are sufficient (I typically start a task here), I like qwen 27B at the small end (dense is better than MoE at this size).
