In OpenZeka's measurement, Step-5-Preview (604B parameters), served in FP8 format with vLLM and speculative decoding on DGX B300 (DP=4), reached a generation speed of 132.5 tok/s per request and a time to first token (TTFT) of 92 ms with a single request.
Considering the speed targets alone (the KV cache limit was not calculated for this configuration), the estimated capacity is 256 users for chat use and 96 for agentic use. The realistic capacity will likely fall between these two values. In scenarios dominated by coding, tool use, long workflows and multi-agent use, capacity approaches the agentic estimate; where shorter interactions, standard conversations and lighter tasks dominate, it approaches the chat estimate.
Notes: Served as stepfun-ai/Step-5-Preview-data (same checkpoint). Speculative MTP k=3.
