HOW TO CHOOSE
GB300 vs B200
The B200 is the mainstream Blackwell; GB300 adds memory and FP4 throughput for reasoning-class models. For most training the B200 is the practical part.
Workload fit
B200: frontier pre-training, fp4 inference, large moe training. GB300: frontier training, reasoning-model serving, anything small.
B200 VS GB300 - FAQ

B200 or GB300 - which should I rent?
B200: The B200 is Blackwell's datacenter flagship: roughly 2.3x the H100's dense compute, a new FP4 precision that doubles effective inference throughput, 192 GB at 8 TB/s, and NVLink 5 at 1.8 TB/s. GB300: GB300 is the Grace-Blackwell Ultra superchip: B300-class GPUs paired with Grace CPUs, sold as NVL72 racks rather than cards.
