How to use this comparison
Writing/long output: Prioritize median output tok/s and peak speed.
Chat/agents: TTFT usually has a bigger UX impact.
Model selection: Rerun your real Prompt and inspect output quality too.
FAQ
Which model outputs faster, glm-5.1 or MiniMax-M3?
MiniMax-M3 has faster output (median 80 vs 51 tok/s); MiniMax-M3 has faster TTFT (1.76s vs 4.51s).
Why can output speed and TTFT have different winners?
Output tok/s measures sustained generation speed, while TTFT measures the wait until the first token. A model can generate long text faster while still taking longer to start.
How should I rerun this comparison?
Use the arena with the same Prompt, temperature and network conditions, then repeat a few times and combine the speed data with output quality.
Can I embed this comparison in GitHub or an article?
