Install Ollama, pull the Spark X2.5 4B model, and verify that a local prompt returns a model response. Ollama's native spark2_5 support requires v0.34.1 or later.
This setup uses the package documented for this task. Review its source and supported platforms before starting.
The publisher has not provided a complete memory target for this task. Check its hardware guidance before starting.
This setup uses Ollama. The exact checkpoint format, context, and runtime overhead determine its memory need; a weight-file size alone is not a GPU recommendation.
Pick your operating system. Every command below is for the selected package and runtime.
Install Ollama for this operating system before running the model command.
Download and install Ollama for your platform from the official download page: https://ollama.com/download. Native spark2_5 support requires Ollama v0.34.1 or later, so install a build at or above that version. On macOS and Windows the installer places the ollama binary on your PATH; on Linux follow the installer instructions on that download page. After installing, open a fresh terminal so the ollama command is available.
Pull the Spark X2.5 4B model into your local Ollama library. This downloads the weights and registers the model under the identifier SparkLLM/Spark-X2.5-4B.
ollama run SparkLLM/Spark-X2.5-4BThe previous command opens an interactive prompt in your terminal once the model has loaded. Type a short question such as: What is the capital of Anhui Province? and press Enter. The model runs entirely on your machine; no data leaves your computer.
Read the terminal output. A successful setup shows a generated text answer below your prompt. For the example question, the expected answer is Hefei. If a coherent answer appears in the terminal, the model is running and responding locally. Type /bye and press Enter to exit the chat session when you are done.
Ask a short question with a known answer. Confirm the selected local model responds and verify the answer yourself before using it for private work.
This is a source-linked setup, not a YouRunAI hardware test. Confirm your exact runtime version, package, and output before relying on it.
Your Ollama build is older than v0.34.1, which is the first version with native spark2_5 support. Install a current Ollama release from https://ollama.com/download and retry ollama run SparkLLM/Spark-X2.5-4B.
A 4B parameter model needs substantial available memory. Close other memory-heavy applications and ensure you are running the model on hardware with enough RAM or VRAM for the weights and context you use.
