Metrics are not directly comparable to vendor benchmark claims. Models served different requests; this is observed gateway traffic, not a controlled head-to-head test.
Time to first token (gateway proxy)
No published measurement for this model.

Measurement window, samples and methodology
The fleet reference is the median of published model medians, not a request-weighted result. Prompt lengths, reasoning settings and traffic differ between models.
Gemini 3.1 Pro: Measured on Borg: SearchAtlas AI Gateway production request logs. 30-day window ending 2026-10-08; 278 requests. Minimum 100 samples per published request metric.
GPT-6.1 Sol: Measured on Borg: SearchAtlas AI Gateway production request logs. 30-day window ending 2026-10-08; 4680 requests. Minimum 100 samples per published request metric.
Completion speed covers the whole turn including queueing and reasoning time; it is not a streaming tokens-per-second figure.
- Time to first token (gateway proxy): time until the first streamed response event reaches the gateway; our closest available measure of time to first token
- Tokens per second (end to end): tokens per second, end to end: provider-reported output tokens divided by the whole turn's elapsed time, including queueing and reasoning; not a streaming per-token rate
How to choose
Gemini 3.1 Pro is listed for complex software engineering, whereas GPT-6.1 Sol is listed for coding with tools. Choosing between Gemini 3.1 Pro and GPT-6.1 Sol requires checking published specifications against observed Borg traffic for your workflow.
