Apple M5 Ultra Nearly Quadruples DGX Spark Token Speed in Qwen Test

Apple’s M5 Ultra Mac Studio generated tokens nearly four times as fast as Nvidia’s DGX Spark in a Qwen review benchmark. The tested machine cost $12,299, and moving from 96GB to 256GB of memory adds $4,000. Other tests showed much smaller gains, including a video conversion that finished behind the M3 Ultra. The results give buyers a specific comparison, but choosing a configuration requires separating model throughput from the work an entire AI agent performs.

Coding Agents Need a Recovery Plan Beyond the Undo Button

What would you need to check before letting an interrupted agent continue?
