Granted, due to OpenRouter's 5.5% surcharge, any enormous whales have a strong financial incentive to use the provider's API directly.

A "weekly active API Keys" faceted by models/app would be a useful data point to measure real-world popularity though.




Aggregating by tokens causes the problem simonw mentions in that one poweruser can skew the chart too much.


Right, that chart shows App usage based on the user-agent header but doesn't tell you if there is a single individual user of an app that skews the results.


I was skewing the Gemini starts with my Aider usage. Basically the only model in using with openrouter, until I recently started running qwen3-next locally.

2.5 is probably the best balance for tools like Aider.
