Time to first token, throughput and uptime are measurements, and Multigrid has not served enough traffic through GPT-5.1 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

Same request shape as every other model in the catalogue.

example.ts
const res = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "openai/gpt-5.1",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
  reasoning: { effort: "medium" },
  route: {
    // pin, exclude or order the providers below
    providers: ["openai", "openrouter"],
    sort: "price",
  },
});

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-5.1 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?
