Time to first token, throughput and uptime are measurements, and Multigrid has not served enough traffic through GPT-5 mini to publish honest ones. When it has, they will appear here per provider, taken from real requests. Nothing on this page is estimated: prices, context window and capabilities all come from the provider’s own documentation.Call it

Signing up takes no card and commits you to nothing — you start at a zero balance, so nothing can be charged until you decide to add credit. The playground opens on GPT-5 mini and prices every answer as it arrives, at the rate shown above — what the route costs us, with nothing of ours added. Already have an account?
