Verdict

7B params, ~14 GB at native precision — fits on one Spark as-is.

Make it fast

Once it fits: fewer bytes per token and fewer decode steps against 273 GB/s.

Add a speculative decoder

Decode is bandwidth-bound at ~19.2 tok/s ceiling; a trained EAGLE-style draft multiplies tokens per weight-read.

Make it yours

Change what the model does — adapt, edit, or steer it — independent of size.

Fine-tune it

LoRA/QLoRA adapts behavior on one Spark without touching the base weights.
