DeepSeek V3 (671B MoE): GPUs needed and cost to self-host

671B parameters, 37B active per token (mixture of experts: every expert sits in memory, but only the active ones are read per token, so it decodes like a 37B model). In FP8 that is about 805 GB with room for the KV cache.

The tick marks the sample hosted-API price. Estimates: tokens/s from memory bandwidth with batched serving, not a benchmark. Idle hours still bill, so lower utilization means pricier tokens.
