|---|---|---|---|
| p50 | 142ms | 1.18s | 43s |
| p75 | 168ms | 1.34s | 48s |
| p90 | 201ms | 1.62s | 56s |
| p99 | 312ms | 2.41s | 72s |
How We Compare
Side-by-side with other AI generation API providers on the metrics that matter most.
| Provider | TTFB | Image Gen | Video Gen | Uptime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CreativeAI | 142–195ms | 1.2s | 38–45s | 99.97% |
| Provider A | 350–600ms | 3.5s | 90–120s | 99.5% |
| Provider B | 500–900ms | 4.2s | 120–180s | 99.2% |
Built for Speed at Scale
The infrastructure behind the numbers — from edge routing to GPU auto-scaling.
Global Edge Routing
Requests hit the nearest PoP before reaching GPU clusters. Median network hop < 40ms worldwide.
Dedicated GPU Pools
No cold starts. Warm model instances on A100 / H100 clusters with auto-scaling for burst traffic.
99.97% Uptime SLA
Redundant inference backends with automatic failover. Status page transparency with 90-day rolling metrics.
Real-Time Monitoring
Per-request latency traces exposed via response headers. Integrate with your own Datadog / Grafana dashboards.
Auto-Scaling
Burst from 10 to 10,000 concurrent requests without pre-warming. Queue-based scheduling with priority tiers.
Async + Webhooks
Fire-and-forget generation with webhook callbacks. No polling overhead — get notified the instant results are ready.
Per-Request Observability
Every response ships latency headers you can pipe straight into your monitoring stack.
