Each model is ranked by the number of tokens it processed through the OpenRouter API, counting both prompt and completion tokens. Usage is aggregated into daily buckets in UTC and totalled per model variant, so variants of the same model, such as a free variant, are ranked separately. Requests that a user or app keeps private are excluded before aggregation.
Today, This Week, and This Month each cover a trailing window of one day, seven days, and thirty days, ending with the most recent complete daily bucket. Trending compares the trailing seven days with the seven days before it and ranks models by the percentage change in tokens, including only models with at least one million tokens in the current window so that a small base cannot produce a large percentage. New models with no prior week are listed first, up to five of them.
The date above the rankings is the newest usage bucket the leaderboard is computed from, not the time the page was rendered or deployed, so it advances only when new usage data is aggregated.
These rankings measure adoption, not quality. They do not rank models by accuracy, reasoning ability, or benchmark performance, which are reported separately in the Benchmarks section of this page. They describe traffic routed through OpenRouter, not the whole market and not usage on a model provider's own API. Token volume is also not a count of requests, users, or spend, and models differ in verbosity and tokenization, so a higher token total does not by itself mean a model is preferred for a given task. The Top Models chart groups models outside the top ten into an Others series, and the Market Share chart does the same with model authors rather than individual models.
