ProvidersPricingPerformanceUptimeBenchmarksAppsActivityFAQExplore

Providers

Different companies host the same model. OpenRouter routes your request to one of them based on the routing mode you pick — Balanced (price + speed), Nitro (fastest), or Floor (cheapest).

Pricing

The average price customers actually pay for this model, next to the prices providers post. Caching and discounts mean the price actually paid is often well below the listed one.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations and this model’s own outputs on shared benchmark prompts. Higher percentages are better — and each rank shows where this model lands among the models evaluated on that source.
