Summary Analysis
Output Speed vs. Price: GPT-4o mini Realtime (Dec '24) Providers
Output Speed: Output Tokens per Second; Price: USD per 1M Tokens
Most attractive quadrant
Output Speed: Tokens per second received while the model is generating tokens (ie. after first chunk has been received from the API for models which support streaming).
Price: Price per token, represented as USD per million Tokens. Price is a blend of Input & Output token prices (3:1 ratio).
Median: Figures represent median (P50) measurement over the past 72 hours to reflect sustained changes in performance.
Latency vs. Output Speed: GPT-4o mini Realtime (Dec '24) Providers
Latency: Seconds to First Token Received; Output Speed: Output Tokens per Second; 1,000 Input Tokens
Most attractive quadrant
Size represents Price (USD per M Tokens)
Output Speed: Tokens per second received while the model is generating tokens (ie. after first chunk has been received from the API for models which support streaming).
Latency (Time to First Token): Time to first token received, in seconds, after API request sent. For reasoning models which share reasoning tokens, this will be the first reasoning token. For models which do not support streaming, this represents time to receive the completion.
Price: Price per token, represented as USD per million Tokens. Price is a blend of Input & Output token prices (3:1 ratio).
Median: Figures represent median (P50) measurement over the past 72 hours to reflect sustained changes in performance.
Context Window: GPT-4o mini Realtime (Dec '24) Providers
Context Window: Tokens Limit; Higher is better
Context window: Maximum number of combined input & output tokens. Output tokens commonly have a significantly lower limit (varied by model).
Variance between providers: While models have their own context window, in cases this is limited by providers.
