Providers

Where this model runs, and what each route costs. Requests are sent to a healthy provider automatically; if one errors, the gateway retries against another serving the same model.

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). Throughput and TTFT are measured on streaming requests, which are the only ones with a first-token moment to time.

Cache hit rate

Share of input tokens served from the prompt cache over the window.

Availability

The share of requests to this model that completed successfully. When an upstream provider errors, the gateway retries against another provider serving the same model, so a single provider incident does not necessarily show up here.

Days are UTC days. Days with no requests are omitted rather than drawn at 100% — no traffic is not evidence of availability.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.
