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.
