Performance for doubao-seed-1-8

Uptime is the percentage of requests that succeeded over the past 72 hours. AIHubMix continuously monitors every provider and automatically retries with the next-best provider when one returns an error or responds too slowly; Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better); Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second, higher is better).
