DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash on Vera Rubin NVL72: 58x Throughput vs. GB300 NVL72 at 387 tokens/s
On a single NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack, vLLM serves DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash at 1.7M tokens/s per GPU with 387 tokens/s per user, 58x GB300 NVL72, reaching 2.52M at peak throughput and 1,810 tokens/s for a single user. The gains come from kernels tuned for Rubin's split memory domains and FP4 tensor cores, specialized low-latency decode kernels, and a rack-wide KV cache and Engram tables shared over NVLink. The post details four optimization groups and reports a 96.5–97% prefix hit rate at high concurrency with workload-aware routing.
It offers a detailed, measurement-backed look at how Rubin-specific memory and MMA features translate into serving throughput and latency for a frontier open model.
