Feature request: show live tokens/sec (output speed) in TUI and Desktop app #50000

Closed as duplicate

Description

@EdudojoAI

Description

When the model is generating a response, there's no visible indication of output speed (tokens per second). The UI currently shows token usage and cost per message/session, but no live tok/s metric while streaming.

Use case

  • Comparing provider/model latency and throughput side by side
  • Quickly spotting slow providers, rate limiting, or degraded performance
  • Diagnosing whether long waits are network/provider related or model-side

Suggested implementation

  • Show output tok/s next to the streaming indicator while a response is generating
  • Optionally include tok/s in the per-message token usage details after completion

Tested on the v2 Desktop app; the same gap exists in the TUI.
