How it behaves under real clients
The same model answering different prompt shapes — measured, not benchmarked.
| Client | Requests | Tokens | Throughput | To first token | p95 total | Completed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Node.js App | 242 | 16.4M | 63 tok/s | 2.41 s | 44 s | 100% |
| Java/Kotlin App | 123 | 10.9M | 86 tok/s | 1.81 s | 67 s | 100% |
Grouped by the client that sent the request. Not a benchmark: the same model on different prompt shapes. Throughput and time-to-first-token are medians; p95 is the slowest response in twenty. 3 clients under 100 requests not shown.
