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): Time to first token received, in seconds, after API request sent. For reasoning models which share reasoning tokens, this will be the first reasoning token. 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.
