Kimi K3 2.8T — B200 vs GB300 NVL72 Performance per Dollar
Cost per million tokens of B200 (NVIDIA Blackwell) versus GB300 NVL72 (NVIDIA Blackwell) on Kimi K3 2.8T. Large-hyperscaler-volume ownership TCO normalized by total tokens — performance per dollar across LLM workloads. Pick the more cost-efficient SKU at every target interactivity level. Use the chart controls below to switch sequences, precisions, and metrics — same interactions as the main inference chart.
AgentX replays real coding-agent sessions rather than fixed-length prompts, so context grows turn over turn and most of each request is served from cache instead of being recomputed. That turns the comparison into a systems question: KV transfer between nodes, prefix-aware routing, and cache capacity all move the curve alongside raw chip throughput. Fixed-sequence workloads stay the clean baseline for kernel and silicon performance, so the two scenarios answer different questions about the same hardware. Learn more about AgentX →
