This follows directly from the fundamental latency-throughput tradeoff in LLM inference. At high batch sizes, GPUs achieve better utilization and greater total token throughput, meaning more users served concurrently and lower cost per token. At low batch sizes with greater parallelism per request, each user gets faster responses, but total token throughput drops. Since the hourly cost of the accelerators is fixed regardless of how they’re used, lower throughput means fewer tokens over which to amortize that cost, and thus a higher price per token.

Evidence

In short, fast mode isn’t necessarily a hardware story, but merely the natural consequence of trading throughput for latency on the same GPUs

② Atomic Claim

因此 fast mode 不一定是硬體升級,而可能只是同一批 GPUs 上用 throughput 換 latency 的自然結果。
