Today's citable statistics
- 01Claude Opus 5 (batch) leads on real Artificial Analysis quality benchmarks at an Intelligence Index of 63.1 as of August 9, 2026, among 85 models with published benchmark scores.
- 02DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 handles the largest real share of production traffic on OpenRouter at 12.9% of tracked token volume, averaged over the trailing 35 days.
- 03Ling-3.0-flash delivers the best measured quality-per-dollar among tracked models, at 1200.0 intelligence-index points per dollar.
- 04Open-weight models handle 74% of real token volume on OpenRouter as of August 8, 2026.
- 05291 distinct AI models are tracked daily, spanning 57 providers.
- 06Real production usage is classified across 29 distinct task categories (from memory extraction to translation), each measured directly from OpenRouter's classified traffic - not survey or benchmark opinion.
Source: OpenRouter (openrouter.ai/rankings), as of August 9, 2026.
Benchmark scores: Artificial Analysis (artificialanalysis.ai) via OpenRouter (openrouter.ai/rankings).
Methodology: smophy.ai/benchmark/methodology
Token counts originate from each provider's own tokenizer and are not directly comparable across providers.
Data exports
Real derived metrics only - quality-per-dollar and usage share, tracked daily. Raw OpenRouter rows are never re-served, per their terms (see attribution below).
One-paragraph methodology
No invented composite index. Every published number is either a real, independently sourced quantity (benchmark score, price, usage share, uptime) or a plain, transparent ratio of two such numbers (quality ÷ price). Full detail, including the history of three composite indices we built and killed after finding real defensibility problems, is on the methodology page.
