Two clocks, and why they disagree

Kyma measures this model twice. Both are real; they answer different questions.

Probe · every 6h · 30 days

0.40s to answer

One fixed prompt, on a schedule, to every model. Comparable, because the model is the only thing that changes.

Real traffic · last 7 days

0.32s to answer

Your requests, at the lengths clients actually send. Not comparable between models, but it is what running this one feels like.

Production prompts here are shorter than the probe's. Use the probe figure to choose between models, the traffic figure to budget for your own.
