Every number comes from real chats in Loci, timed on the device that wrote the answer, with Loci's default settings.
Tokens per second is how fast an answer is written once it starts. On phones, four characters of text count as one token for every model; on a Mac, Loci counts the model's own tokens. Reading pace is about 5.
First word is how long an answer takes to start after you send a message. Longer conversations take longer.
Each device counts once. The large number is the median; the typical range covers the middle half of devices.
Results use the last 30 days when enough devices have been measured. Otherwise, labeled 90-day samples include older measurements under the same sample and app-version requirements.
Each phone speed comes from at least 10 phones of that model. Different phone models and Android chip variants are measured separately. Open a result to see its sample size.
On phones, answers written in Low Power Mode or Battery Saver, in the background, or with web search or other tools are left out.
