Key definitions

Context window: Maximum number of combined input & output tokens. Output tokens commonly have a significantly lower limit (varied by model).
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).
Output Price: Price per token generated by the model (received from the API), represented as USD per million Tokens.
Input Price: Price per token included in the request/message sent to the API, represented as USD per million Tokens.
Time period: Metrics are 'live' and are based on the past 72 hours of measurements, measurements are taken 8 times a day for single requests and 2 times per day for parallel requests.
