Live routing data

Performance and reliability

Recent averages across requests routed for this model. Your own speed depends on prompt length, reasoning effort and load.

Prompt cache hits
10.3%
About $1.81 per 1M input tokens with caching

Cache hits are the share of input tokens recently served from a prompt cache across all requests. They are not a forecast of your own hit rate.
