Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate cost per million tokens per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct token cost comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.
Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate input throughput per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct input throughput comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.
Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate output throughput per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct output throughput comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Interactivity is the rate at which a single user receives generated tokens while the model streams its answer — how quickly new words appear on screen. Higher values feel snappier; operators trade it against batch throughput.
How many total tokens (input + output) one US dollar of infrastructure spend buys, priced with the all-in hourly ownership cost of a Neocloud Giant operator. It is the reciprocal of cost per token, so higher means cheaper.
Formula: tok/$ = (total tok/s/chip × 3,600) ÷ all-in cost per chip-hour ($)
