No quantization in our catalogue fits this machine.
Discrete GPU: 32 GB of VRAM, of which we assume 92% is usable after driver and context overhead.
Mixture of experts: all 309B parameters must be resident in memory even though only ~15B are active per token. Memory follows total parameters; speed follows active parameters.

How the estimate is calculated
- Decode: reading 15.0B active parameters at 4.85 bits/weight takes 14.86 ms at 644 GB/s x 95% achieved efficiency.
- MoE routing penalty of 15% applied: expert gathers are less bandwidth-efficient than a dense sweep.
- Prefill: 96 TFLOPS (FP16) x 2.46 calibrated against measured prefill on this platform x 32% assumed model-FLOPs utilisation, divided by 2 x 68.1B parameters per token.
- Prefill uses 68.1B effective parameters, not the 15B active in decode: a batch of hundreds of tokens routes across most of the expert pool.
- MoE decode depends on how well the engine batches expert gathers; real results vary more than for dense models.
- Prefill throughput is highly engine-dependent. Flash attention, batch size and quantized KV all move this number substantially, and for sparse mixture-of-experts models it is the least reliable figure we produce.
- This is a calculated estimate, not a measurement. It assumes a single request, a short prompt, no speculative decoding and a warm model already resident in memory.

The $100 comparison uses the Codex Pro 5x / Claude Max 5x plans. A fixed planning conversion is used for USD. This compares monthly spend only: subscriptions have usage limits, local hardware has different capabilities and constraints, and taxes or regional pricing may change the charged amount. Prices checked 7 September 2026.
Purchase-price input: $2,521 in United States (federal), tax/VAT excluded · estimated · NL retail (system build) (converted catalogue estimate). This is the localized purchase input; the after-tax economic cost is calculated separately below.

Three different numbers, deliberately
Cash cost
$2,521
Money that leaves the bank account on day one, net of reclaimable VAT.
Accounting depreciation
$35.72/month
$2,143 written down over 5 years to a $378 residual.
After-tax economic cost
$34.06/month
Depreciation plus running costs plus cost of capital, less the tax those deductions save. This is the figure to compare between machines.
