Uptime and availability

One of Whisper Large v3's 2 routes is on the monitoring board, so the figure below is that provider's availability rather than the model's.

100%route uptime, last 30 days
Its other routes aren't measured here yet.

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. 1 further route is not on the board yet. See uptime for every provider Opper monitors.
