Baseten: Elephant 1

baseten/elephant-1

Model weights
Compare

Elephant 1 is a 9B decision model from Base Labs, Baseten's research team, built on Qwen3.5-9B. Given a state (text or JSON) and typed questions (yes/no, multiple choice, or ordinal score), it returns a calibrated probability for every option in a single forward pass, with no text generation. It is TypeSafe System One compatible and suits routing, classification, and scoring where you need a scored answer instead of prose. Its larger sibling is Mammoth 1Opens in new tab.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Pricing

The average price customers actually pay for this model, next to the prices providers post. Caching and discounts mean the price actually paid is often well below the listed one.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

API

Drop-in code to call this model. It runs on the OpenRouter Decisions API rather than the OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint, so the request and response shapes below are specific to structured decisions — chat completions SDKs will not work with it.

Not currently available through EU in-region routing. In-region routing docs

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.

The Elephant 1 documentation on OpenRouter includes the Multimodal Decisions guide and the interactive Decisions Lab. The quickstart covers API keys and your first request, and the API reference lists every parameter.

Elephant 1 costs $0.035/M input tokens and $0.00/M output tokens.

Elephant 1 has a 16,384 token context window.

Elephant 1 accepts text and images as input and returns structured decisions.

Joey 1 and Mammoth 1 are other text models from Baseten.

Joey 1

Joey 1 is a 2B decision model from Base Labs, Baseten's research team, built on Qwen3.5-2B. Given a state (text or JSON) and typed questions (yes/no, multiple choice, or ordinal score), it returns a calibrated probability for every option in a single forward pass, with no text generation. It is TypeSafe System One compatible and suits high-volume routing, classification, and guardrail checks where latency and cost matter most. Its larger siblings are Elephant 1 and Mammoth 1.
