The release follows a recent benchmarking study conducted by Artificial Analysis, comparing leading API providers on the performance of OpenAI’s gpt-oss 120B model. In these tests, the Clarifai Reasoning Engine set new industry records for throughput and latency on GPUs, even outperforming some specialized ASIC chips from other providers.
During evaluations of Clarifai’s hosted gpt-oss-120B model, the platform achieved over 500 tokens per second, with a time to first token of just 0.3 seconds. In subsequent rounds, the Reasoning Engine not only surpassed all GPU-based inference implementations but also outperformed specialized non-GPU accelerators. These results demonstrate that GPU performance can now rival and occasionally exceed non-GPU architectures, a first in the AI industry.
These advancements represent a milestone for AI operations. Paired with Clarifai’s industry-leading compute orchestration technology, the Reasoning Engine delivers the speed, flexibility, efficiency, and reliability that enterprises and developers require to scale intelligent applications without dependency on a single hardware vendor.

“Agentic AI and reasoning workloads burn through tokens rapidly. They require high throughput, low latency and low prices to drive viable customer use-cases,” said Matthew Zeiler, Founder & CEO at Clarifai. “With the Clarifai Reasoning Engine, developers can unlock a new era of speed and responsiveness with inference more affordable than the best industry offerings today. We’re also using our technology and AI expertise to help model builders deliver breakthrough inference performance for their custom models on standard GPUs that is now competitive with specialty non-GPU architectures for the first time ever in our industry, with agent-friendly pricing.”
Optimized for agentic AI, the Clarifai Reasoning Engine accelerates the latest reasoning models and automation tasks across industries. Its adaptive performance continuously improves based on workload behavior, enhancing speed over time without compromising accuracy. Starting today, customers can collaborate with Clarifai’s AI experts to apply these optimizations to their own models, boosting both performance and cost efficiency.
