Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate cost per million tokens per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct token cost comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate input throughput per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct input throughput comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate output throughput per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct output throughput comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate power per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct power comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate Joules per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct Joules per token comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.
