Where do you get the 220 token/second? Genuinely curious as that would be very impressive for a model comparable to sonnet 4. OpenRouter currently publishing around 116/tps[1]

I ran each prompt three times and got (within expected variance meaning less than 5% plus or minus) the same token/sec results for the respective prompt. Each used Claude Haiku 4.5 with "High reasoning". Will continue testing, but this is beyond odd. I will add that my very early evals leaned heavily into pure code output, where 200 token/sec is consistently possible at the moment, but it is certainly not the average as claimed before, there I was mistaken. That being said, even across a wider range of challenges, we are above 160 token/sec and if you solely focus on coding, whether Rust or React, Haiku 4.5 is very swift.
[0] Normally not using T3 Chat for evals, just easier to share prompts this way, though was disappointed to find that the model information (token/sec, TTF, etc.) can't be enabled without an account. Also, these aren't the prompts I usually use for evals. Those I try to keep somewhat out of training by only using paid for API for benchmarks. As anything on Hacker News is most assuredly part of model training, I decided to write some quick and dirty prompts to highlight what I have been seeing.
Anthropic mentioned this model is more then twice as fast as claude sonnet 4 [2], which OpenRouter averaged at 61.72 tps for sonnet 4 [3]. If these numbers hold we're really looking at an almost 3x improvement in throughput and less then half the initial latency.
