Phi-4 14B at FP16 needs 28.0 GB for its weights and 38.7 GB in total at 8K context with 8 concurrent users. That means it fits on a single H200 SXM5 141GB. Every figure is computed by tokcalc's open-source capacity model.

Yes. Phi-4 14B at FP16 needs 38.7 GB including the KV cache, and H200 SXM5 141GB has 141 GB — so it fits on a single GPU.
111.4 tokens/sec per stream and 1337 tok/s aggregate with continuous batching at 8 concurrent users. Time to first token is 502.4 ms, and inter-token latency is 9.0 ms.
$0.8310 per 1M output tokens at 1× H200 SXM5 141GB ($4.00/hr). That is the marginal hardware cost — add idle capacity, ops, and egress for the real figure.
28.0 GB for the weights at FP16, plus 10.7 GB of KV cache for 8 concurrent requests at 8K context — 38.7 GB total. Every extra concurrent user at long context costs more, so leave headroom.
It works. Compare $0.8310 per 1M tokens against the alternatives below — the cheapest option that fits the same workload is 4× RTX 3080 10GB at $0.0772, and the fastest is 1× Cerebras CS-3 (WSE-3) at 5571 tok/s.
