A per-model winner combines blended price and estimated 500-token response time with equal proportional weight. Ties and rows missing either measurement receive no badge. Comparison data calculated . Values use one deterministic route per provider and model; missing measurements remain visible as N/a.

DeepInfra vs Groq analysis

How DeepInfra and Groq compare for AI inference

DeepInfra and Groq share 7 indexed text models, including MiniMax M2.7, gpt-oss-120b, gpt-oss-20b, Qwen3 32B, Llama 4 Scout. Groq has the stronger typical response-time result on the directly measured set.

Same-model speed evidence

7 shared models currently have complete response-start and output-speed measurements on both providers. The speed comparison uses per-model ratios before taking the median, so naturally faster model catalogs do not improve the result.

Token pricing on one workload

7 shared models have complete input and output prices on both providers. Prices use the same 1,000-input/500-output-token mix and are normalized to one million tokens for readability.

Catalog and deployment differences

DeepInfra has 87 indexed models and lists no published server regions; Groq has 11 models and lists no regions. Verify data residency, privacy terms, limits, and production latency directly before choosing.
