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 →
Near the low end of the 19–502 tok/s/user interactivity band — at 139 tok/s/user — B200 runs $0.01 per million tokens on MiniMax M3.1 Flash 428B while GB200 NVL72 runs $0.01. B200 is the cheaper choice by 36%.
On MiniMax M3.1 Flash 428B at 260 tok/s/user, the per-million math comes out to $0.02 for B200 and $0.02 for GB200 NVL72; B200 delivers 24% more total tokens per dollar.
At 381 tok/s/user on MiniMax M3.1 Flash 428B, B200 and GB200 NVL72 land within ~1% on cost per million tokens ($0.04 vs $0.04) — call it a tie at this operating point.
