[llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp) is a lightweight C/C++ inference stack for large language models. You build it with CUDA so tensor work runs on the DGX Spark GB10 GPU, then load GGUF weights and expose chat through `llama-server`s OpenAI-compatible HTTP API.
This playbook walks through that stack end to end using **Nemotron 3 Nano Omni** as the hands-on example: an NVIDIA MoE family that runs well from quantized GGUF on Spark. Checkpoint choices and paths for all supported models are summarized in the matrix below; commands are in the instructions.
This playbook walks through that stack end to end. As the model example, it uses **Gemma 4 31B IT** - a frontier reasoning model built by Google DeepMind that llama.cpp supports, with strengths in coding, agentic workflows, and fine-tuning. The instructions download its **F16** GGUF from Hugging Face. The same build and server steps apply to other GGUFs (including other sizes in the support matrix below).
## What you'll accomplish
You will build llama.cpp with CUDA for GB10, download a **Nemotron 3 Nano Omni** example checkpoint, and run **`llama-server`** with GPU offload. You get:

## Step 4. (Optional) Connect with LM Link
## Step 3b. (Optional) Connect with LM Link
**LM Link** lets you use your Sparks models from your laptop (or other devices) as if they were local, over an end-to-end encrypted connection. You dont need to be on the same local network or bind the server to `0.0.0.0`.
1. **Create a Link** — Go to [lmstudio.ai/link](https://lmstudio.ai/link) and follow **Create your Link** to set up your private LM Link network.
2. **Link both devices** — On your DGX Spark (llmster) and on your laptop, sign in and join the same Link. LM Link uses Tailscale mesh VPNs; devices communicate without opening ports to the internet.
3. **Use remote models** — On your laptop, open LM Studio (or use the local server). Remote models from your Spark appear in the model loader. Any tool that connects to `localhost:1234` — including the LM Studio SDK, Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and the scripts in Step 7 — can use those models without changing the endpoint.

LM Link is in **Preview** and is free for up to 2 users, 5 devices each. For details and limits, see [LM Link](https://lmstudio.ai/link).

As an example, let's download and run gpt-oss 120B, one of the best open source models from OpenAI. This model is too large for many laptops due to memory limitations, which makes this a fantastic use case for the Spark.
```bash
lms get nvidia/nemotron-3-nano-omni

## Phase 3: Telegram Bot
> [!IMPORTANT]

The channel plugin and bot token are wired into the sandbox container at sandbox creation time — `policy-add` only opens network egress and is not enough on its own. If you skipped Telegram during onboard, re-run the installer to recreate the sandbox with Telegram enabled.
### Step 9. Prepare credentials
### Step 9. Create a Telegram bot
You need two items:
Do this **before** running the NemoClaw installer in Step 4 so you have your bot token ready when the wizard prompts for it.
| Item | Where to get it |
|------|----------------|
| Telegram bot token | Open Telegram, find [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather), send `/newbot`, and follow the prompts. Copy the token it gives you. |
| NVIDIA API key | Go to [build.nvidia.com/settings/api-keys](https://build.nvidia.com/settings/api-keys) and create or copy a key (starts with `nvapi-`). |
Open Telegram, find [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather), send `/newbot`, and follow the prompts. Copy the bot token it gives you and paste it into the wizard when you reach the **Messaging channels** step.
### Step 10. Install cloudflared and start the Telegram bridge
The Telegram bridge needs a public webhook URL so Telegram can deliver messages to your bot. NemoClaw uses [cloudflared](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/) to create a free `trycloudflare.com` tunnel.
### Step 10. Configure and start the Telegram bridge
Make sure you are on the **host** (not inside the sandbox). If you are inside the sandbox, run `exit` first.
Install cloudflared (DGX Spark is arm64):
Set the required environment variables. Replace the placeholders with your actual values. `SANDBOX_NAME` must match the sandbox name you chose during the onboard wizard:
```bash
curl -L --output cloudflared.deb \
https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cloudflared.deb
export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=<your-bot-token>
export SANDBOX_NAME=my-assistant
```
Start the tunnel:
Add the Telegram network policy to the sandbox:
```bash
nemoclaw tunnel start
nemoclaw my-assistant policy-add
```
Verify the public URL is live:
When prompted, type `telegram` and hit **Y** to confirm.
Start the Telegram bridge. On first run it will ask for your NVIDIA API key:
```bash
nemoclaw status
nemoclaw start
```
You should see `● cloudflared` with a `trycloudflare.com` public URL (e.g. `https://assembled-peer-persian-kitty.trycloudflare.com`).
Paste your `nvapi-` key when prompted.
You should see:
```text
[services] telegram-bridge started
Telegram: bridge running
```
Open Telegram, find your bot, and send it a message. The bot forwards it to the agent and replies.
> [!NOTE]
> If `nemoclaw tunnel start` prints `cloudflared not found — no public URL`, the cloudflared install above did not complete successfully. Re-run the install, then restart the tunnel:
> The first response may include a debug log line like "gateway Running as non-root..." -- this is cosmetic and can be ignored.
> [!NOTE]
> If you need to restart the bridge, `nemoclaw stop` may not cleanly stop the process. If that happens, find and kill the bridge process via its PID file:
> ```bash
> nemoclaw tunnel stop && nemoclaw tunnel start
> kill -9 "$(cat /tmp/nemoclaw-services-${SANDBOX_NAME}/telegram-bridge.pid)"
> ```
> [!NOTE]
> The first response may take 30--90 seconds for a 120B parameter model running locally.
> [!NOTE]
> If sending a message returns `Error: Channel is unavailable: telegram`, the channel was not enabled during onboard. Re-run the installer to recreate the sandbox with Telegram selected at the **Messaging channels** step.
> [!NOTE]
> For details on restricting which Telegram chats can interact with the agent, see the [NemoClaw Telegram bridge documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/latest/deployment/set-up-telegram-bridge.html).
> Then run `nemoclaw start` again.

You should see `*:11434` in the output. If it only shows `127.0.0.1:11434`, confirm the override file contents and that you ran `systemctl daemon-reload` before restarting.
Next, run a model from Ollama (adjust the model name to match your choice from [the Ollama model library](https://ollama.com/library)). The `ollama run` command will pull the model automatically if it is not already present. Running the model here ensures it is loaded and ready when you use it with OpenClaw, reducing the chance of timeouts later. Example for nemotron-3-super:
