Assumptions (5)
  • FP8 weights (119B params, 6.5B active per token) + 25% KV-cache headroom ≈ 149 GB
  • 2× H200 141GB at $3.59–$7.91/GPU-hour on-demand (2026-09-24)
  • ~8,963 output tok/s aggregate at batch 322 (bandwidth-bound); MoE compute scales with active params
  • Blended 3:1 input:output; prefill ~143,858 tok/s
  • Low = 75% utilization at the low GPU price; high = 20% at the high price
