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 →
At 15 tok/s/user on Qwen 3.5 397B-A17B, MI325X comes in at $0.02 per million tokens. GB200 NVL72 hasn't been benchmarked at this operating point.
Only MI325X has cost data at 30 tok/s/user on Qwen 3.5 397B-A17B — $0.03 per million tokens. GB200 NVL72 is unmeasured at this target.
MI325X costs $0.04 per million tokens at 44 tok/s/user on Qwen 3.5 397B-A17B; we have no GB200 NVL72 benchmark data at this exact target.
