OBSERVED OPENROUTER TRAFFIC

How the published top 20 are used

2026-10-16 — 2026-10-22 · UTC

Shares within the 20-model weekly leaderboard · not global market share or total OpenRouter share

Only the 20 models in the publicly rendered weekly leaderboard. Shares are within this cohort, not all OpenRouter or the global AI market. Token volume sums prompt and completion tokens; provider tokenizers differ. Request counts are a separate measure. Free variants are distinct. No historical trend is inferred from this one weekly observation.

How to read this dataset

Prompt and completion tokens are summed. Tokenizers differ between providers, so a token is not an identical unit of text across all models. Models outside a day’s top 50 are aggregated as “other”; absence from the list is not zero usage. Lines connect recorded observations and do not fill missing dates.
