Codestral 25.08 at FP8 (E4M3) needs 22.0 GB for its weights and 37.0 GB in total at 8K context with 8 concurrent users. That means it fits on a single RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell 96GB. Every figure is computed by tokcalc's open-source capacity model.

Yes. Codestral 25.08 at FP8 (E4M3) needs 37.0 GB including the KV cache, and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell 96GB has 96 GB — so it fits on a single GPU.
79.42 tokens/sec per stream and 953.0 tok/s aggregate with continuous batching at 8 concurrent users. Time to first token is 5.81 s, and inter-token latency is 12.6 ms.
$0.4372 per 1M output tokens at 1× RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell 96GB ($1.50/hr). That is the marginal hardware cost — add idle capacity, ops, and egress for the real figure.
22.0 GB for the weights at FP8 (E4M3), plus 15.0 GB of KV cache for 8 concurrent requests at 8K context — 37.0 GB total. Every extra concurrent user at long context costs more, so leave headroom.
It works. Compare $0.4372 per 1M tokens against the alternatives below — the cheapest option that fits the same workload is 4× RTX 3080 10GB at $0.0404, and the fastest is 1× Cerebras CS-3 (WSE-3) at 10636 tok/s.
