TL;DR:<\/span> MATLAB on Linux ARM is now available as an open beta. Details at <\/span>https:\/\/www.mathworks.com\/help\/cloudcenter\/ug\/matlab-on-linux-arm.html<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/div>
At the beginning of this year I published an article about <\/span>Running Large Language Models on the NVIDIA DGX Spark and connecting to them in MATLAB<\/span><\/a> that included the picture below. Some people objected to the fact that we had put a MathWorks sticker on the DGX Spark because we didn't have a native ARM version of MATLAB available. The truth was, we did! It just wasn't openly available at the time.<\/span><\/div>

At SC25, we had a demonstration of MATLAB running on a DGX Spark at the MathWorks booth and were actively scouting for participants in a closed beta. Several organizations signed up and gave us some great early feedback. Here's a picture of me talking about it to an SC attendee that I published as part of <\/span>my LinkedIn post discussing our attendance at the event<\/span><\/a> where you can see a MATLAB-generated fractal on what is clearly a DGX-Spark. <\/span><\/div>

At that stage we were looking for users who <\/span>really<\/span> wanted MATLAB on ARM and were willing to deal with all kinds of broken edges in order to get it. The first versions were command-line only. There were no graphics, no desktop and certainly no Simulink. <\/span><\/div>

MATLAB<\/span> on <\/span>Linux<\/span> <\/span>ARM<\/span> (Beta) is now available to everyone <\/span><\/h2>
I am beyond happy to be able to tell you that the ARM Linux build is now much further along and is <\/span>available to everyone as an open beta<\/span><\/a>. This includes MATLAB R2026b Update 1 and the following products:<\/span><\/div>
