Workload cost uses 1M input tokens plus 100K output tokens at published list prices without assuming a cache hit. Cached input is the discounted price for prompt tokens served from a provider cache. TTFT is time to first token. Output is characters per second; p5 is the sustained floor exceeded by 95% of observed requests. Success is calculated from completed versus failed requests over the trailing seven days.
