Hardware Roofline & Continuous Batching Economics
Self-Hosted Sovereign H100 Cluster
3.35 TB/s HBM3 memory bandwidth per GPU. Achieves sub-30ms first-token latency, zero cloud token egress, and 65% to 84% lower operational costs at scale.
Throughput: 2,500+ Tokens/sec (PagedAttention Saturation)
Hyperscaler Multi-Tenant APIs
Subject to cross-border network jitter, unpredictable rate limits, and continuous OpEx scaling that exceeds self-hosted infrastructure past 50M tokens/month.
Breakeven Threshold: ~40M–80M Tokens/Month
