How we estimate →What it would cost to run these open weights yourself on rented GPUs, compared with the API price above.
- Hardware
- 16× H200 141GB
- FP8 weights
- Throughput
- ~21,013 tok/s
- many requests batched
- Price
- $0.38–3.13 /M tok
- busy → light use
- On your own machine
- Too large
- needs data-center GPUs
Assumptions (5)
- FP8 weights (1000B params, 50B active per token) + 25% KV-cache headroom ≈ 1250 GB
- 16× H200 141GB at $3.59–$7.91/GPU-hour on-demand (2026-09-24)
- ~21,013 output tok/s aggregate at batch 889 (bandwidth-bound); MoE compute scales with active params
- Blended 3:1 input:output; prefill ~127,171 tok/s
- Low = 75% utilization at the low GPU price; high = 20% at the high price
