Model response speed trend

Output speed and time to first token measured once a day through OpenRouter over the last 30 days. “Usual” is the median of the previous 14 days; a model is marked slower or faster only when it moves beyond its own normal variation. Speed you experience may differ by region and time of day.

Sources and methodology

  • We collect incidents from OpenAI (ChatGPT)'s official status page every 30 minutes and keep them. Past incidents removed from the official page stay in this record.
  • Incident counts and recovery times cover only the period since we started recording. When that period is short, we show "53 days".
  • Affected features and incident causes are classified by AI from the incident notices.
  • The outage probability is a reference estimate from the last 60 days of records (newer weighted more) and the average across all services.
  • Maintenance notices are not counted as incidents. Providers post by different standards, so more notices don't necessarily mean less stable.
