DSv4-Pro FP4 8K/1K, Dynamo+vLLM, disaggregated on both racks. GB300's 50% extra HBM (288 vs 192 GB/GPU) unlocks a wider prefill+decode recipe GB200 can't fit — lifting middle-of-curve perf/$ by 2.31x despite a 20% per-GPU TCO premium.

Both SKUs run SGLang EAGLE MTP; the Blackwell generation lifts perf/$ by ~1.2x at the peak and the NVIDIA GLM-5-NVFP4 checkpoint on FlashInfer TRT-LLM sparse MLA stacks another ~2.4–3.0x on 8K/1K

vLLM PR #36307 unlocks the trtllm-gen FP8 MoE kernel for MiniMax on B200; combined with NVFP4, perf/$ scales from 4.0x at 22 tok/s/user to 8.2x at 110 on 8K/1K

On vLLM 8K/1K the NVFP4 path on B200 is 2.71x–2.95x cheaper per million tokens than H200 INT4 across the entire 30–90 tok/s/user serving band, and 2.45x–2.74x cheaper than B200 INT4 on the same silicon. Both factors decompose cleanly into B200's HBM bandwidth, HBM capacity, and NVFP4 tensor cores

The amd/deepseek_v4 side branch shipped TileLang attention indexer, Triton sparse MLA, fused RoPE/Hadamard, FlyDSL MoE, and FP4 weights across 31 performance optimizations PRs — lifting first-light 20 tok/s/GPU at 2.4 tok/s/user into 2,256 tok/s/GPU at 9.4 tok/s/user on 8K/1K, with both throughput and interactivity climbing together

14 weeks after GLM-5 launched, AMD landed both MTP and non-MTP SGLang FP8 recipes on MI355X — fused MLA + FP8 KV cache via TileLang flips the single-node FP8 cost curve in AMD favor across most of the performance Pareto
