Where to run it
Every provider serving this model through OpenRouter, with throughput and first-token latency measured on live traffic over the last 30 minutes and each provider’s own price. Purple marks the best in each column.
| Provider | Speed | First token | Input $/M | Output $/M | Context | Quantisation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Vertex | 122 tok/s | 0.45 s | $0.300 | $1.20 | 197k | – |
| NovitaAI | 57 tok/s | 1.28 s | $0.300 | $1.20 | 205k | fp8 |
