Reporting Use Cases

The Model speed field is one of the two multipliers that make the same token cost more. It is sparsely populated, because only one provider exposes it.

  • Explaining consumption: A rise in tokens at flat usage is sometimes a shift to the accelerated tier rather than more work.

  • Expect it to be empty: Only Anthropic direct API traffic carries a speed tier today. Do not use it as a required filter.
