Recommended setup
| GPU | H200 for 70B-class models; H100 for mid-size; L40S for 7B–13B and image generation |
|---|---|
| Interconnect | NVLink within a node; multi-node fabric rarely needed |
| Scaling | A reserved base plus on-demand for peaks |
| Region | Close to your users to cut latency |
A 70B model in FP8 needs about 70 GB for weights alone. On an 80 GB H100 that leaves almost no room for KV cache, so you need two cards; on a 141 GB H200 it fits on one with room to spare.
Serving traffic is rarely flat. Reserve enough capacity for your baseline and burst onto on-demand GPUs for peaks.
