Fastest AI Models 2026 — Live Speed Leaderboard (Celeris-1, 2,121 tok/s)

Compare real-world speed for 0+ AI models: response latency, time to first token (TTFT), and throughput (tokens/sec). We pull live performance data from Artificial Analysis and pair it with per-token pricing so you can spot the fastest and most cost-efficient models for production APIs, real-time chat, and code completion.

For raw benchmark scores (GPQA, AIME, MMLU-Pro, HLE, SWE-bench) see the Benchmarks leaderboard. For pricing-only comparison try the LLM cost calculator.

Speed Metrics Guide

Throughput (tokens/s)

Output generation speed in tokens per second. Higher is better.

Good: >50 t/s · Excellent: >100 t/s
Time to First Token (TTFT)

Delay before the first token appears. Lower is better.

Good: <500ms · Excellent: <200ms
Price/Performance

Cost efficiency ratios. Lower values indicate better value.

$/Speed: price per t/s · Price×TTFT: latency penalty
