feat(blog): B200 NVFP4 vs H100 FP8 on MiniMax-M2.5 — up to 8.2x better perf/$

New post comparing B200 vLLM NVFP4 vs H100 vLLM FP8 on MiniMax-M2.5 8K/1K
(GHA run 26306422380, measured 2026-05-22). Headline: up to 8.2x better
performance per dollar at 110 tok/s/user, growing monotonically from
4.0x at 22 tok/s/user. Decomposes at the peak into a 2.94x generation
step (Blackwell vs Hopper at FP8) and a 2.77x precision step (B200 FP8
→ B200 NVFP4) unlocked by vLLM PR #36307 (the trtllm-gen FP8 MoE
modular kernel that finally accepts MiniMax's routing-logits dtype).
