Intelligence Index vs. Price

Blended at 7:2:1 (cache-input-output) · USD per 1M tokens (blended)
Most attractive quadrant
Pareto line
Reasoning models are indicated by a lightbulb icon

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

Context Window

Context Window

Context window: tokens limit · Higher is better
Reasoning models are indicated by a lightbulb icon

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

Maximum number of combined input & output tokens. Output tokens commonly have a significantly lower limit (varied by model).

Performance Summary

Output Speed vs. Price

Output speed: output tokens per second · USD per 1M tokens (blended)
Most attractive quadrant
Pareto line
Reasoning models are indicated by a lightbulb icon

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 per token, shown in USD per million tokens. Price is a blend of cache hit, input, and output token prices using the selected ratio (default 7:2:1 cache-input-output).

Speed

Measured by Output Speed (tokens per second)

Output Speed

Output tokens per second · Higher is better
Reasoning models are indicated by a lightbulb icon

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).

Figures represent performance of the model's first-party API (e.g. OpenAI for o1) or the median across providers where a first-party API is not available (e.g. Meta's Llama models).

Latency

Measured by Time (seconds) to First Token

Latency: Time To First Answer Token

Seconds to first answer token received · Accounts for reasoning model 'thinking' time
Reasoning models are indicated by a lightbulb icon

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.

End-to-End Response Time

Seconds to output 500 tokens, calculated based on time to first token, 'thinking' time for reasoning models, and output speed

End-to-End Response Time vs. Price

End-to-end response time: end-to-end seconds to output 500 tokens · USD per 1M tokens (blended)
Most attractive quadrant
Pareto line
Reasoning models are indicated by a lightbulb icon

Price per token, shown in USD per million tokens. Price is a blend of cache hit, input, and output token prices using the selected ratio (default 7:2:1 cache-input-output).

The most intelligent model available on DeepInfra is GLM-5.2 (max) (FP4) with an Intelligence Index score of 53.

The fastest model on DeepInfra by output speed is Nemotron 3.5 Lightning (NVFP4) at 665.5 tokens per second.

The model with the lowest time to first answer token on DeepInfra is Nemotron 3 Nano at 0.40s. Lower latency means faster initial response time.

The most affordable model on DeepInfra by blended price is Llama 3.1 8B (Turbo, FP8) at $0.02 per 1M tokens (7:2:1 cache hit/input/output ratio).

Prices on DeepInfra vary up to 55x across models, from $0.02 per 1M tokens for Llama 3.1 8B (Turbo, FP8) to $1.20 per 1M tokens for Llama 3.1 Nemotron 70B.

Yes, DeepInfra offers an OpenAI-compatible API, making it easy to switch from OpenAI or use existing OpenAI SDK integrations.

96 of 100 models on DeepInfra support JSON mode for structured output.

96 of 100 models on DeepInfra support function calling (tool use).

Yes, all 100 models on DeepInfra are open weight models.

Yes, provider performance can vary over time due to infrastructure changes, load balancing, and updates. We continuously benchmark all providers and display historical performance trends in the "Over Time" charts.

When choosing a model on DeepInfra, consider: intelligence (for quality-sensitive tasks), output speed (for throughput-intensive tasks), latency (for interactive applications requiring quick first responses), pricing (for cost-sensitive workloads), and features like context window size, JSON mode, or function calling support.
