Self-host assumptions

Timings come from single-request SGLang benchmarks at 1344×768, 124 frames, 50 steps. Real throughput depends on batching and concurrency; treat all self-host numbers as estimates. 480p uses the same 768p timings (no speed-up assumed).

Break-even

Standard prices; promotions excluded.

At these assumptions fal · MiniMax H3 768p stays cheaper than self-hosting on 4× H200 at any volume.
