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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SiliconFlow | 71 tok/s | 1.30 s | $0.100 | $0.300 | 262k | fp8 |
What a task costs
Estimates from list price, output speed and time to first answer for the best configuration. “With caching” assumes three-quarters of the input is served from the prompt cache at $0.020 per 1M. Reasoning tokens are not modelled.
| Workload | Tokens in / out | Cost | With caching | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chat reply | 400 / 300 | $0.0001 | $0.0001 | 11.7 s |
| Summarise a 30-page report | 12,000 / 600 | $0.0014 | $0.0007 | 13.1 s |
| Code edit | 6,000 / 1,500 | $0.0011 | $0.0007 | 17.2 s |
