Path B: Mid-size company
More users, and room to grow, running GLM 5.2.
Recommended build
1x DGX B200, running GLM 5.2 (744B parameters, needs 893 GB of GPU memory).
1,440 GB combined vs. 893 GB needed — the DGX B200 is one integrated system: 8 GPUs, already wired together with NVLink, that software sees as a single large memory pool. Unlike the small startup build, this isn't several separate cards you're relying on software to split a model across — it's one machine built for exactly this.
Power, in human terms
14,300 W is 11.92x an average home's continuous draw (1,200 W): 14,300 W ÷ 1,200 W ≈ 11.9 homes.
Running this build at full load for 24 hours (one day) uses 14,300 W × 24 ÷ 1,000 = 343.2 kWh. An electric-car battery holds 90 kWh, so 343.2 kWh ÷ 90 kWh = 3.81x one EV battery's worth of energy, every day this build runs at full load.
