ToolsThe story, in brief

Live model performance metrics accessible via AI Gateway

Vercel's AI Gateway now surfaces live performance metrics across 100+ models—helping devs pick winners based on real throughput and latency data, not benchmarks.

Why it matters

Developers now have transparency into actual model performance (latency, throughput) across providers in production. This shifts model selection from benchmark claims to observable, real-world metrics—lowering friction in the model-picking workflow.

The key facts

12 to know
  1. Vercel AI Gateway now displays P50 and P95 latency (TTFT) and throughput metrics

  2. Metrics updated hourly based on live customer requests

  3. Sortable by latency (time-to-first-token) and throughput (tokens/second)

  4. Metrics available on model list pages, individual model detail pages, and via REST API

  5. Provider-level performance breakdowns enable cross-provider comparison for same model

  6. Data includes both P50 (best case) and P95 (tail latency) percentiles

  7. Metrics updated hourly across hundreds of models

  8. P50 latency and throughput visible per model and per provider

  9. REST API access to live performance data (P50/P95)

  10. Sortable columns for latency (time-to-first-token) and throughput (tokens/sec)

  11. Data pulled from live AI Gateway customer requests

  12. Metrics available via three interfaces: model list, detail pages, and REST endpoints
