How much fits.

GPU memory decides which models load without sharding. Compare it per card, per server, or against what you pay.

Metric
Model weights that fit, per server
ServerFP16FP8
A8× B200720B1,440B

Parameters, in billions, whose weights fit in GPU memory at 2 bytes (FP16) or 1 byte (FP8). KV cache and activations need room on top.
