Context Window
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.
Summary Analysis
Output Speed vs. Price
Output Speed: Output Tokens per Second; Price: 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 14 days or otherwise to reflect sustained changes in performance.
Latency vs. Output Speed
Latency: Seconds to First Token Received; Output Speed: Output Tokens per Second
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 of tokens received, in seconds, after API request sent. 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 14 days or otherwise to reflect sustained changes in performance.
Pricing
Pricing: Input and Output Prices
