Celeris: Models Intelligence, Performance & Price

While higher intelligence models are typically more expensive, they do not all follow the same price-quality curve.

Output tokens, including reasoning tokens, received per second over a request's full duration, from sending the request to receiving the final token. The headline value averages each Performance v3 workload over the past 5 days, then averages the workloads.

Larger context windows are relevant to RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) LLM workflows which typically involve reasoning and information retrieval of large amounts of data.

Time to first answer token received, in seconds, after API request sent. For reasoning models, this includes the 'thinking' time of the model before providing an answer. For models which do not support streaming, this represents time to receive the completion.

The share of cacheable input tokens served from the provider's prompt cache, measured during multi-turn agentic sessions. We regularly measure each endpoint and report a representative rate based on recent measurements. Higher values mean more of the input is billed at the cheaper cache-hit price, where the provider offers one, which lowers the effective cost of agentic workloads.
