Ranked by real usage: the total tokens (prompt + completion) routed to each model on OpenRouter over the trailing 7 days. This reflects developer/API demand on the OpenRouter marketplace. It does not include first-party app traffic (ChatGPT, the Gemini app, claude.ai), so consumer chat flagships are under-counted relative to their true reach. Names, pricing and context windows are live from OpenRouter's own catalog and validated against it before display. Refreshed automatically; no hand-maintained list.
