Independent tracker adds 19 September inference snapshot
The LLM Latency Tracker published a 19 September data snapshot covering 45 inference providers across ap-tokyo, eu-hetzner, sa-east and us-central. Its methodology says probes run every five minutes directly to providers and separately reports network time-to-first-byte and inference time-to-first-token. The repository records the snapshot at 07:50 UTC; it is an independent dataset, not peer-reviewed research.

Why it matters
For teams selecting inference capacity, observed availability and latency are operational inputs rather than vendor claims. The separation between network delay and model response time makes the data more useful for diagnosis, while its cloud data-centre vantage points mean it cannot predict every customer experience.
