Signal65 MLPerf analysis: Azure GB300 tops DeepSeek-R1 interactive serving at 260k tokens/sec

NVIDIA's Ryan Shrout highlights Signal65's analysis of audited MLPerf Inference v6.1 DeepSeek-R1 results, showing over 260k tokens/sec on validated GPU clusters. The Interactive scenario enforces a 1.5s time-to-first-token and 15ms per output token, matching conversational/coding workloads. Signal65 argues reasoning models only pay off when latency stays low, and each extra GPU to hold response time raises serving costs; among same-generation, same-count GPU systems, Azure ND GB300 v6 led the Interactive scenario.
