B200
NVIDIA's flagship data center GPU, based on the Blackwell architecture and intended for large-scale AI training and inference. It represents the highest performance tier currently offered.
Timeline (last 90 days)
In GPU Index's price data snapshot, the lowest price for H100 is $1.37/hr (Vast.ai, spot instance), for H200 is $2.62/hr (CoreWeave, spot), for A100 is $1.15/hr (Paperspace, three-year contract), for L40S is $0.79/hr (RunPod, community cloud), and for B200 is $4.26/hr (CoreWeave, spot).
An NPU equipped with VKORE reaches about 75% of a single B200's pretraining throughput.
The inventory of exposed devices covers high-end accelerators such as H100, H200, B200, and Blackwell Ultra B300, as well as consumer-grade GPUs including the RTX 4090 and RTX 5090.
In a Kimi Linear, 8-card B200, concurrency-8 test, cached-prefix throughput improved by approximately 10.9x.
Kimi-K2.7-Code can be trained on 6 B200 GPUs with packed INT4 experts, whereas using 16-bit copies would require approximately 2 TB of VRAM.
The Laya decision model responds up to 4.1 times faster for short requests, with a 3-question guardrail check on a B200 dropping from 11.6 ms to 2.8 ms.
On the B200, a single 3-question guardrail check was reduced from 11.6 ms to 2.8 ms, and Laya's loading time was shortened from approximately 17 seconds to approximately 9 seconds
Image models can maintain INT8 or FP8 precision when offloaded, and Z-Image generation time on a B200 with a 10 GiB VRAM limit dropped from 38.4 seconds to 2.3 seconds
When gpt-oss is loaded with load_in_4bit = False, MXFP4 experts are retained, allowing gpt-oss-120b to be trained on a single B200
First-frame rendering for the MiniMax-H3 model can complete up to approximately one minute earlier, and peak VRAM usage on A100, B200, and RTX PRO 6000 has been reduced by 25–29 GiB.
