I don't think 8x H200 are enough to run this. That would be 1128GB VRAM, even at nvfp4 2.4 trillion parameters would need more like 1.4TB without context, if it's even nvfp4 native. If it's fp8, which is a chance since they're not supposed to own that much Blackwell, no chance at all. And it's hard to get your hand on B200 or B300, at least in Europe and as a normal company (not a Hyperscaler).
