Output speed on Ionstream
Median output tokens per second for each model this host serves, derived from OpenRouter endpoint telemetry. Higher is better. We do not run these measurements ourselves.

The Known Good
Source. Prices, endpoint availability and throughput for Ionstream are ingested from OpenRouter;
model metadata is enriched from models.dev. A blank cell means the figure was not published for that endpoint —
it never means zero. Blended price is (3 × input + output) ÷ 4, the same 3:1 blend used everywhere on this
site; see methodology. Quality scores are not provider-specific:
a model scores the same wherever it is hosted, so quality lives on the
model pages.
