Quality comparison by provider: Quality can vary between providers due to differences in how the model is provided from both a software and hardware perspective. Providers can make optimizations, such as to improve speed, but which impact quality of model responses such as by serving the model at lower precision (quantization).
Summary Analysis
Output Speed vs. Price
Output Speed: Output Tokens per Second; Price: Price: USD per 1M Tokens
Most attractive quadrant
Mistral
Microsoft Azure
Output Speed: Tokens per second received while the model is generating tokens (ie. after first chunk has been received from the API).
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 14 days.
Latency vs. Output Speed
Latency: Seconds to First Tokens Chunk Received; Output Speed: Output Tokens per Second
Most attractive quadrant
