I need a model that's as fast as possible (highest token per second speed), the intelligence doesn't have to be high. As long as it is decently usable.
#What is the fastest model that I can use?

For the fastest available models (highest token per second speed) with decent usability, consider:
-
Google: Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite: "Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite is a lightweight reasoning model... optimized for ultra-low latency and cost efficiency. It offers improved throughput, faster token generation, and better performance across common benchmarks compared to earlier Flash models. By default, 'thinking' (i.e. multi-pass reasoning) is disabled to prioritize speed." Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite
-
OpenAI: GPT-5 Nano: "GPT-5-Nano is the smallest and fastest variant in the GPT-5 system, optimized for developer tools, rapid interactions, and ultra-low latency environments. While limited in reasoning depth compared to its larger counterparts, it retains key instruction-following and safety features." GPT-5 Nano
-
Anthropic: Claude Haiku 4.5: "Claude Haiku 4.5 is Anthropic’s fastest and most efficient model, delivering near-frontier intelligence at a fraction of the cost and latency of larger Claude models." Claude Haiku 4.5
Of these, Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite is described as specifically optimized for ultra-low latency and speed, making it an excellent choice for your requirements. You can find more models and their details at Top AI Models and OpenRouter Models.
