Dataset: AI Usage

Entity: AI Usage Measurement

Field ID: model_speed

Type: Select list

Description: The speed tier the model ran with, which is one of the price multipliers a model carries. Possible values are:

  • STANDARD the standard tier.

  • FAST the accelerated tier.

Not available yet. GitHub Copilot does not publish this measurement, so it is empty on every record you can query today. It is populated by Anthropic Claude, which is coming soon.

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.
