Uptime and availability

TTS-1 runs on a single route through the Opper gateway today, so its availability is that provider's availability.

96.06%route uptime, last 30 days
Single route, no failover target within this model.

Name a second model in the same request and the gateway tries it on retriable errors, so a busy hour never has to reach your users. Set up a fallback chain.

Measured over the last 30 days from each provider's official status feed via StatusGator. Refreshed hourly. See uptime for every provider Opper monitors.

Data handling per route

Each route hosting TTS-1 has its own privacy posture, residency, and GDPR terms. Postures are maintained by Opper with a last-verification timestamp.
