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.
