Fastest LLM Inference, by Workload
Which number decides your speed depends on what you are building. Same measured runs, cut three ways.
Chat and voice
Time to First Token
388ms
gpt-oss-120b - p50
Conversational and voice interfaces are judged on how fast the first word appears, not on how fast the rest arrives.
Time to First TokenAgents and coding
Output Throughput
713tok/s
gpt-oss-120b - p50
Agent loops and coding assistants wait for the whole response, so tokens per second sets the pace. For frontier reasoning across long runs, MiniMax M2.7 Ultraspeed measures 428 tok/s with a 192K context window.
Output ThroughputBatch and RAG
End-to-End Latency
1.789s
gpt-oss-120b - p50
Pipelines care about the total round trip for a complete response. Gemma 4 31B takes image and text in the same request for document and vision workloads.
End-to-End LatencyFast is half of it. Every number above was measured on hardware we own in Munich - see what EU sovereign actually means.

What We Measure
Three metrics that matter for production AI inference
Time to First Token (TTFT)
How quickly the model starts responding after your request. Critical for interactive applications and chat interfaces.
Output Throughput
Tokens generated per second after the first token. Determines how fast a complete response is delivered to the user.
End-to-End Latency
Total time from request to complete response. Includes TTFT plus full generation time. The number that matters for batch workloads.

LLM Inference Speed: Frequently Asked Questions
Infercom serves open-weight models such as gpt-oss-120b on SambaNova dataflow hardware in Munich. Our highest measured output is 713 tokens per second, with peaks up to 772 tok/s on shorter prompts - up to 10x faster than GPU-based alternatives. Every figure is a server-side p50 from our production API, not a vendor estimate, and you can reproduce it with our open-source benchmark tool.
Run the benchmark yourselfgpt-oss-120b leads output throughput at 713 tok/s and also has our lowest time to first token at 388 ms, which makes it the default for chat, voice and high-volume agent loops. MiniMax M2.7 Ultraspeed is our 229B frontier reasoning model at 428 tok/s with a 192K context window, for long agentic runs and hard coding tasks. Gemma 4 31B measures 199 tok/s and adds native image and text input. Chat and voice depend on time to first token; agents and coding depend on throughput.
Compare the modelsYes. Every number is a server-side p50 at 10K input and 1K output tokens, single request, measured against our production API with our open-source benchmark tool. Run it online against our API with your own key, or clone the repository and run it locally against your own prompts. Your client-side results will differ depending on network location and conditions.
View the benchmark tool sourceDataflow hardware keeps its compute pipeline busy at low batch sizes, so per-request speed does not depend on stacking many requests together the way GPU serving does. Batching still raises total system throughput, but it is not what buys the per-request numbers above. The figures published here are single-request p50s; if concurrency behaviour matters for your workload, the benchmark tool has a real-workload mode that replays variable request rates against our API.
How the dataflow architecture worksThe dataflow architecture Infercom runs on is continuously benchmarked by Artificial Analysis and has been covered by VentureBeat and TechRadar, with the underlying energy-efficiency methodology validated by Stanford Hazy Research. Those sources cover the technology; the per-model numbers on this page are our own measurements on our own Munich infrastructure, which is why we publish the benchmark tool so you can check them.
See the independent benchmarksA GPU repeatedly moves model weights and activations between compute and memory, and during token-by-token decoding it spends much of its time waiting on that memory traffic. A dataflow architecture maps the model onto the chip and streams data through it, so far more of the silicon does useful work per token. That is where the up to 10x speed advantage over GPU-based inference comes from, alongside up to 5x better energy efficiency.
