[–] jchw 13d ago ↗ I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere, but I was recently befuddled at just how insanely the OpenRouter rankings graph has grown this year. Look at this shit:https://openrouter.ai/rankingsAm I to understand the weekly pace has gone from 3.2T tokens to 181T tokens since last October?AI will have many problems but it seems profitability (maybe) ain't one. [–] verall 13d ago ↗ agentic use which is mostly cached tokens really pumps the total token numbers without contributing to revenue as much. [–] jchw 13d ago ↗ The absolute values aren't meaningful per-se, it's the relative growth that's mind-boggling.
