Claude Opus 4.5 endpoint guide

How to interpret the Fastest Claude Opus 4.5 Inference Providers

6 of 6 Claude Opus 4.5 endpoints currently have the published data required for this ranking. Amazon Bedrock leads at 9.70 s via amazon-bedrock/eu-west-1. The table keeps unranked routes visible so missing measurements do not look like missing provider availability.

How complete response time is ranked

The fastest ranking estimates a 500-token answer by adding the recent median first-token wait to 500 divided by median output throughput. It represents an example complete response, not a guarantee for every prompt or request size.

Compare Amazon Bedrock with the next option

Google Vertex currently ranks second at 12.77 s. Compare that gap with input and output price, response-start time, output speed, 30-minute uptime, context length, and the exact route before deciding whether first place is meaningful for your workload.

Use the route, not only the provider name

Claude Opus 4.5 has 6 published provider options, and performance data is matched to each exact OpenRouter routing tag. Different quantization, context, regional deployment, or provider configuration can change price and behavior even when the underlying model name is identical.
