Availability monitoring is derived from OpenRouter provider uptime; it refreshes with the daily build. Latency and throughput are not exposed by the data source, so we do not report them rather than estimate.

Sources and methodology

Every claim keeps its route back to evidence.

Region reflects where the model's developer is headquartered. Figures are OpenRouter routing traffic, aggregated over a trailing seven days - developer routing behaviour, not the whole market.
