Hello, I've been on a quest to get something "close enough" of Opus 4.5 running locally, for agentic coding, as SWE with 15 years of experience. I tried with one spark (yeah I'm calling my Asus Ascent GX10 sparks - they're the same), with models like Qwen 3.5 122B-A10B, Qwen3-Coder-Next, M2.5-REAP,. Nothing was scratching the itch, too much frustration. 128GB is simply not enough (for me) right now. So I bought a second one (first one I paid 2800€, second one 2500€, plus 60€ cable - total 5360€ - that's without VAT because it's a business expense, so I get VAT back.
