# METRICS AND MANAGEMENT

> Comparing model performance and managing your conversations

## OVERVIEW

The Playground provides a few metrics and management tools to help you monitor and control your conversations.

***

## READ THE METRICS

Once a panel has answered, a row of chips appears beneath its conversation:

| Chip      | Meaning                                                                              |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `TTFT`    | Time to first token: how long the **latest** response took to start streaming        |
| `Latency` | How long the **latest** response took to finish generating                           |
| `In`      | Input tokens sent to the model **so far this session**, prompts and history together |
| `Out`     | Output tokens the model has generated **so far this session**                        |

Timings describe the most recent turn only. Token counts accumulate across the whole session, so they climb as a conversation grows.

<Note>These numbers come from a single interactive request, so treat them as a rough feel for responsiveness rather than a benchmark. Both are sensitive to a cold deployment, prompt length, and current load.</Note>

## MANAGE THE CONVERSATIONS

| Control                   | Effect                                                                                                      |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Clear Chat`              | Empties every conversation and leaves the panels open                                                       |
| `Close All`               | Closes every panel and starts over                                                                          |
| `Retry`                   | Appears on a panel whose turn failed. Re-runs that panel's last message, leaving the other panels untouched |
| The `x` in a panel header | Closes that one panel and discards its conversation                                                         |

## SHARE A MODEL COMPARISON

The models and deployments you have open are held in the page URL, so refreshing the page restores the same set of panels. A link link sent to a teammate will behave the same way,
and will allow you to share a set of models to compare.  The URL does not track state about current conversations or settings.
Conversations, [system prompts](/guides/playground/system-prompts-and-parameters#set-a-system-prompt),
and [sampling parameters](/guides/playground/system-prompts-and-parameters#tune-sampling-parameters) are not saved and do not travel with the link.
