Doesn't matter, they could have marketed it as 1 million token window, you would then infer, get to 600k and get an error. You won't be able to finish your work, and you won't get credit for 600k tokens.

They thought it worked up to 1m token window
why would they think that? I'm not a pro, but I know you can't serve more than kv cache pool that you have. If you want to run concurrent requests, you need to have more kv cache pool than your context window. The entire thing is weird, my bet is they were thinking most people will be using about 100k cache, compacting, etc and not nearing 600k ever.
See my other comment, this is likely only for the prefill GPU pool, a normal 1M token session would work fine. I think Cloudflare should probably link an explainer on how model serving works at the top of the post because a lot of people are not familiar at that level of detail.
