TL;DR: This article analyzes the performance of various large language model (LLM) APIs, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Cloudflare AI, Google Gemini, Groq, Hugging Face, and more. I tested small and large models from each provider with a simple prompt and limited output, sharing key findings and detailed response time analysis. You can reproduce the experiment using the comparing-llm-api-performance GitHub repository.
LLM API Performance
As a developer working with large language model (LLM) APIs, performance is one of my key considerations when selecting an LLM API provider. Low latency and fast response times are crucial for applications that require real-time interactions.
In this article, I compare the API performance of thirteen LLM providers: AI21 Studio, Anthropic, Cloudflare AI, Cohere, Fireworks AI, Google Gemini, Goose AI, Groq, Hugging Face, Mistral AI, OpenAI, Perplexity, and Reka AI. I tested each API multiple times, submitting the prompt "Explain the importance of low latency LLMs." I tested small and large models unless they were not available.
Collecting LLM API Perferformance Data
To ensure a fair comparison, I wrote a Node.js test script using three NPM packages: cli-progress, llm-interface, and node-ping. cli-progress provides user feedback through testing, llm-interface provides a unified interface for multiple LLM providers, simplifying LLM provider interactions, and node-ping makes collecting latency averages easy.
First, the test script collects ping data. It first pings the LLM API hostname; upon failure, it pings the LLM API domain name. The script will use the ping average value provided by node-ping if it is available; otherwise, the average is calculated.
Then, the test script evaluates the performance of various LLM APIs by sending a prompt to each provider's API ten times using a small and large model. It measures key performance metrics for each provider, including latency, average response time, standard deviation, and success rate. The models I used in my comparison were selected using the llm-interface model aliases for small and large models (the actual model names are shown in the results tables below).
The script includes a configurable sleep interval between requests to prevent rate limit exceeded errors. (The default sleep is 1 second but is configurable since I ran into some issues with Google Gemini and Mistral AI at that interval.)
Finally, the test script saves the results as a CSV file, while sample responses from the small and large models are saved into markdown files.
Ranking Methodology
I ranked the providers based on a combination of latency, average response time, standard deviation of response times, and the quality of their responses rather than solely considering the average response time (ms).
Why? Latency measures the initial delay in network communication, which is crucial for ensuring quick interactions. Average response time indicates how fast a provider can process and return a response, while the standard deviation measures the consistency of their performance. Quality of responses ensures that the information provided meets the required standards and relevance. Considering all four metrics allows for identifying providers that offer speed, reliability, consistency, and high-quality responses, which is essential for applications requiring real-time interactions or rapid responses.
How? While ranking the various LLM APIs using numerical values such as latency and average response times is straightforward, ranking the quality of the responses is a bit more difficult. To rank the responses, I decided to leverage three LLMs, specifically OpenAI, Claude, and Google Gemini. I will use their consensus to rank the quality of the responses.
LLM API Comparison Results
Lets start with the numbers. Latency can be defined as "the amount of time it takes for a data packet to travel from one point to another." We can visualize the average latency (ms) with a helpful chart.
Average Latency (ms) Chart
Average Latency (ms) Results Table
The following table displays the average latency for each provider.
| Provider | Avg Latency (ms) |
|---|---|
| OpenAI | 16.463 |
| Cohere | 16.572 |
| Anthropic | 16.893 |
| Google Gemini | 17.044 |
| Hugging Face | 17.564 |
| Mistral AI | 17.733 |
| Fireworks AI | 18.135 |
| AI21 Studio | 18.499 |
| Goose AI | 18.573 |
| Perplexity | 18.632 |
| Reka AI | 19.411 |
| Cloudflare AI | 19.812 |
| Groq | 20.364 |
When considering latency alone, major industry players like OpenAI, and Anthropic show solid initial performance. Cohere, arguably a less widely known provider, performed well, too.
Moving into the small model test results, the following chart shows the providers, models, average response times, and standard deviation.

The following table shows the small model average response time. The second column displays the llm-interface small models.
| Provider | Small Model | Avg Response Time (ms) | Std Deviation (ms) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hugging Face | Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct | 117.052 | 92.733 |
| Groq | gemma-7b-it | 269.841 | 100.261 |
| Fireworks AI | phi-3-mini-128k-instruct | 802.078 | 186.151 |
| Anthropic | claude-3-haiku-20240307 | 1534.910 | 167.900 |
| Cohere | command-light | 1668.845 | 61.123 |
| Google Gemini | gemini-1.5-flash | 1660.029 | 154.032 |
| AI21 Studio | jamba-instruct | 2403.589 | 253.886 |
| OpenAI | davinci-002 | 2713.774 | 305.483 |
| Perplexity | llama-3-sonar-small-32k-online | 3182.196 | 182.791 |
| Mistral AI | mistral-small-latest | 3509.565 | 164.051 |
| Reka AI | reka-edge | 8008.077 | 200.714 |
| Cloudflare AI | tinyllama-1.1b-chat-v1.0 | 10188.783 | 375.586 |
| Goose AI | gpt-neo-125m | 13673.527 | 216.091 |
Evaluating the small model test results, the initial pack leaders had some downward movement: OpenAI had significant slippage, moving from 1st to 8th; Anthropic had minor slippage, down from 3rd to 4th, and Cohere went from 2nd to 5th.
The new leaders are Hugging Face, Groq, and Fireworks AI. Considering the models used by the pack leaders, Hugging Face had the smallest model, Groq had the largest, and Fireworks AI is in the middle. How fast are the leaders? Both Hugging Face and Groq responded in less than 300 ms, and Fireworks AI responded in less than a second.
The Hugging Face model, "Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct," is a smaller-scale language model from the Phi-3 family with approximately 3 billion parameters, optimized for instructional tasks, and designed to handle a context length of up to 4,000 tokens. Groq's "gemma-7b-it" is a medium-sized model with 7 billion parameters, tailored for general-purpose tasks with a specific focus on processing and understanding Italian. Lastly, the Fireworks AI model, "phi-3-mini-128k-instruct," is an extensive version of the Phi-3 series with approximately 3 billion parameters, designed for instruction-based tasks but supporting a significantly larger context window of up to 128,000 tokens.
That's why it's important to note that this test does not compare equivalent models. I used small models to aim for the fastest response times, but models can vary significantly in size and fine-tuning. Consequently, this comparison is somewhat like comparing apples and oranges. However, to ensure a more precise assessment, I plan to release an article in the future that examines LLM API performance using the same model (where possible), providing a more accurate comparison.
The following chart provides the results of my test using the llm-interface large models. The results are sorted by average response time.

| Mistral AI | mistral-large-latest | 3765.701 | 789.968 |
| Reka AI | reka-core | 7886.811 | 70.113 |
| Cloudflare AI | llama-2-13b-chat-awq | 10521.854 | 603.000 |
| Goose AI | gpt-neo-20b | 13592.486 | 43.428 |
Reviewing the large model results, Hugging Face and Groq held first and second place positions, respectively. However, Google Gemini beat out Fireworks AI by nearly a half-second. Again, I am not comparing equivalent models; models vary significantly from provider to provider. In this test, Hugging Face had the smallest model, Groq is in the middle, and Google Gemini had the largest. Even using large models, both Hugging Face and Groq maintained their impressive response speeds, not breaking 300 ms; Google Gemini responded in under 2 seconds. The margin between 2nd and 3rd place is pretty large here.
The Hugging Face model, “Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct,” is a large-scale language model with approximately 8 billion parameters, optimized for instructional tasks, and designed to handle various complex scenarios efficiently. Groq’s “llama3-70b-8192” is a significantly larger model with 70 billion parameters, tailored for a wide range of general-purpose tasks with an impressive context length of up to 8,192 tokens. Lastly, the Google Gemini model, “gemini-1.5-pro,” stands out with a vast 1.5 trillion parameters, aimed at highly advanced and intricate tasks, showcasing its impressive capability to process extensive and complex data inputs.
The following chart combines small and large model average response times.
The Quality Of The Responses
While I didn't originally plan to include an assessment of the quality of the responses in this test, I decided that it would be interesting to see the results, even after considering the following:
- The limited response tokens (150 tokens)
- The extremely small sample size (1 response per provider)
That being said, to evaluate the quality of the responses, I used OpenAI, Claude, and Google Gemini. Then I identified the best responses by consensus.
To accomplish this, I simply uploaded the two markdown files generated and supplied the following prompt: "I asked 13 LLMs for a response to the prompt 'Explain the importance of low latency LLMs.' Evaluate each file individually; do not interrelate them. Rank the top 3 and explain why? Respond in one paragraph for each file. Repeat for each file."

The Real Winner?
Developers! Why? It's simple: the fastest LLM API providers in my test offer free API access. This means you can start building your next AI application without additional expenses. (If you still need to get your free API keys, don't worry, I've provided links below.)
Which Would I Use?
While Hugging Face excelled in my tests, it's important to know that using their API comes with some big limitations. The API is rate-limited and only available for non-commercial use. This means that even though they have lots of great models, you might run into problems if you try to use it for bigger projects or as your business grows.
Because of these issues, I've tend to use other options. When I need really fast responses, almost in real-time, Groq is my choice. Groq is fast and doesn't have as many restrictions. For the more complex prompts that need more processing, I use Google Gemini.
By choosing different providers for different needs, I can get the best performance for each type of task I'm working on. llm-interface makes this really easy. This way, I'm not limited by any one provider's restrictions and can use the best tool for each job
Which Would I Avoid?
Goose AI is a commercial product that while it comes with a $9.99 credit does require a credit card when you sign up. I don't mind spending money for a quality product, however the results provided by Goose AI were lacking to say the least. This is true regardless of the model used. (I've provided all collected responses a bit further in this article.)
Why Is jamba-instruct Tested Twice?
At the time of publishing AI21 Studio had only one model available, jamba-instruct. I was curious about the performance of this model, because AI21 opted to not offer a smaller/faster model similar to most other LLM providers. Overall, it performed well, even beating OpenAI davinci-002.
