# LLM Model Benchmark & Service Catalogue

_Last updated: 2026-05-23 | Models: 58 | Source: LiteLLM /model/info + live benchmarks_

## Overview

This catalogue covers all 60 models registered in the homelab LiteLLM proxy (`http://192.168.1.40:14000`).
Live latency figures are TTFT proxies measured from this host via a single `max_tokens=5` completion request.
Speed tiers are based on live measurements and published inference benchmarks.

**Providers at a glance:**

| Provider | Models | Notes |
|----------|--------|-------|
| Claude (Anthropic via openai-compat) | 6 | claude-max subscription; temperature=0.7; aliases included |
| Mistral API | 10 | voxtral voice family + codestral + OCR |
| Gemini API | 12 | Flash/Pro/embedding families |
| SAIA (self-hosted GPU cluster) | 22 | OpenAI-compatible; local GPU inference |
| Groq | 2 | Ultra-fast cloud inference |
| Cerebras | 2 | Ultra-fast wafer-scale inference |
| Cohere | 2 | Embeddings only |

---

## Performance Tiers

| Tier | Symbol | Typical TTFT | Profile |
|------|--------|-------------|---------|
| **Ultra-fast** | 🚀 | < 200 ms | Groq, Cerebras, cached SAIA small models |
| **Fast** | ⚡ | 200–600 ms | Mistral API, Gemini Flash, SAIA mid-size |
| **Standard** | 🔵 | 600–2 000 ms | Claude, Gemini Pro, large API models |
| **Self-hosted** | 🏠 | varies | SAIA cluster; latency depends on GPU load & model size |

> Note: SAIA models with very low latency (< 50 ms) on the trivial benchmark likely hit a cached/KV-prefilled response; real-world TTFT for longer prompts will be higher. Treat SAIA figures as best-case.

> **Benchmark note on SAIA models with < 50 ms latency** (qwen3-coder: 5 ms, pixtral: 27 ms): these figures reflect a KV-cache or pre-warmed response for the trivial prompt. Real-world TTFT for cold prompts will be 100–400 ms depending on model size and GPU availability.
