Median output speed against output price. Top-left is best (fast & cheap); the dashed line marks the Pareto frontier — models not beaten on both speed and price.

· Data comes from voluntary anonymous sharing and contains speed metrics only, not prompts or API keys · Updates every 5 minutes

· Speed is affected by network, time of day and provider load; different endpoints for the same model are tracked separately
