Providers by usage
The same traffic rolled up by vendor. Latency and success are request-weighted across each vendor's models.
How this is measured
Figures aggregate metered requests across all Bold Router accounts over the trailing 30 days, grouped by model. Only model-level totals are shown - never per-account usage, spend, or identity. In-dashboard playground traffic is excluded. Prices are each model's cheapest provider route at list price (input + output per 1M tokens). “Best value” and “Fastest” awards require at least 5 requests in the window.
