Data policy
- Prompt retention
- Unknown — we could not confirm
- Training
- Unknown — not declared
"Unknown" does not mean "safe". It means we could not confirm it.
Whether a provider trains on prompts is a declared value from our terms with them. Retention is determined from the upstream listing for every host this model can reach. Neither is guessed.
Measured performance
Measured through FastMetal's own gateway over the last 30 days (661 first-response samples).
Time to first response is measured to the first streamed chunk; throughput counts all output tokens, including reasoning tokens. These are observations, not a performance guarantee.
