NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 IS 7X BETTER 💰💰 PERF PER DOLLAR 💰💰 THAN H200 on long context agentic workloads due to disagg prefill and wide expert parallelism optimizations which take advantage of NVL72 copper backplane.
context window — The maximum amount of text a model can consider at once — its working memory for the current conversation or task.
inference — Running a trained model to get answers — the phase where AI is actually used, as opposed to trained.
Why it matters
If your cost model for long-context windowThe maximum amount of text a model can consider at once — its working memory for the current conversation or task.Full definition → agents assumes H200-class economics, the claimed gain now comes from rack-scale interconnect and serving topology, not from the chip.
