Blended price and “vs cheapest” are calculations on the reported prices (3 input : 1 output tokens), against the cheapest standard-tier provider. A lower price can come with lower precision (fp4, fp8) or a shorter context. Uptime is what the API reported for the last day; the API reported no latency or throughput.
