How to interpret the Highest Output-Speed DeepSeek V3 Inference Providers
3 of 3 DeepSeek V3 endpoints currently have the published data required for this ranking. DeepInfra leads at 30.0 tok/s via deepinfra/fp4. The table keeps unranked routes visible so missing measurements do not look like missing provider availability.
How generation throughput is ranked
The output-speed ranking compares recent median generated tokens per second. It favors routes that complete long generations quickly, while first-token latency remains a separate measure of how responsive the endpoint feels at the beginning.
Compare DeepInfra with the next option
StreamLake currently ranks second at 22.0 tok/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
DeepSeek V3 has 3 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.
