Chinese AI models have outpaced US counterparts in API call volume on OpenRouter for six consecutive weeks, with DeepSeek-V4-Flash leading and MiniMax M3 breaking into the global top three.
By this April, DeepSeek’s adoption rate still hovered at 0.1 per cent. For context, market leaders Anthropic and OpenAI dominated the index at 34.4 per cent and 32.3 per cent, respectively. Ramp did not provide the market share percentages for June.
Thanks for proving my point I guess. Your other links are anecodatal. Composer 2 & 2.5 are built off of Kimi K2.5, not GLM as it says very clearly in your own link. That’s not even relevant to the topic but given you don’t read your own sources.
I’ve made my point: the headline is misleading because it fails to mention it’s data from openrouter specifically, for reasons I briefly outlined all of which you dismissed without engaging.
Nowhere have you given any explanation for why you believe OpenRouter wouldn’t be representative of broader trends. What the links show is that Qwen, Kimi, and other models are in fact being used by American companies. It should be obvious that using open models and APIs that cost a fraction of the cost would be attractive to companies, but clearly that’s too fantastical of an idea for you to take seriously. Also love how you latched on to me misremembering GLM instead of Kimi. Really highlights how you’ve really got no actual point to make here.
I’ve made at least 5 points, one of which from your own sources all of which you’ve dumbly ignored in favoring of dumbly repeating your line of openrouter being representative of broader trends which I’ve explained twice why it wouldn’t be true. Good day sir

It’s clearly what you think you did. Have a good rest of your day.
