Qwen 3.8 Flash Next 176B-A6B — H100 vs TPU7x performance per dollar
Cost per million tokens of H100 (NVIDIA Hopper) versus TPU7x (Google Ironwood) on Qwen 3.8 Flash Next 176B-A6B. 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 →
Near the low end of the 70–139 tok/s/user interactivity band — at 87 tok/s/user — H100 runs $0.066 per million tokens on Qwen 3.8 Flash Next 176B-A6B while TPU7x runs $0.008. TPU7x is the cheaper choice by 88%.
