# Claude Code median latency by provider and model, October 2026

> How does Claude Code latency vary by cloud provider? In October 2026 Vertex (Sonnet) was fastest at 2.6s median provider latency. Bedrock (Opus) was slowest at 6.1s.

*Topic: Latency and performance. Period: Oct 2026. Last updated 2026-11-11.*

## Why it matters

The same Claude model can run on Anthropic, Bedrock or Vertex. Latency differences between them are a reason to route by measured speed instead of pinning one cloud.

## Questions this answers

- Is Claude faster on Anthropic, Bedrock or Vertex?
- What is Claude Code median latency?
- Which provider is fastest for Claude Opus?

## Key findings

1. Vertex (Sonnet): 2.6s median, TTFT 1.7s.
2. Bedrock (Sonnet): 2.8s median, TTFT 2.7s.
3. Vertex (Haiku): 3.1s median, TTFT 1.4s.
4. Anthropic (Haiku): 3.2s median, TTFT 1.8s.
5. Bedrock (Haiku): 3.2s median, TTFT 1.8s.

## Data

| Provider (Model) | Median latency | P95 latency | Median TTFT | Success rate (percent) | Cache hit rate (percent) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Vertex (Sonnet) | 2.6s | 20.9s | 1.7s | 98.68% | 93.57% |
| Bedrock (Sonnet) | 2.8s | 22.2s | 2.7s | 88.23% | 92.05% |
| Vertex (Haiku) | 3.1s | 16.4s | 1.4s | 98.37% | 88.72% |
| Anthropic (Haiku) | 3.2s | 16.2s | 1.8s | 98.94% | 93.51% |
| Bedrock (Haiku) | 3.2s | 15.4s | 1.8s | 84.95% | 89.60% |
| Anthropic (Sonnet) | 4.2s | 38.3s | 2.0s | 98.98% | 92.43% |
| Vertex (Opus) | 4.9s | 40.0s | 2.4s | 97.17% | 89.99% |
| Anthropic (Opus) | 5.8s | 34.3s | 3.3s | 98.95% | 93.29% |
| Bedrock (Opus) | 6.1s | 31.0s | 4.0s | 96.77% | 93.58% |

## Caveats

- Claude Code traffic only. Provider latency excludes Requesty routing time.
