Direct answer: OpenRouter is a model router and catalog. This page ranks OpenRouter models by app adoption, token volume, estimated spend, and top-1 usage so you can choose by coding, price, context length, latency, or breadth instead of reading a flat provider list.
Of every dollar agents spend on inference, this is who collects it. The top three vendors take more than the rest combined — that's the entire story before any leaderboard.
The same 30-day window produces four different #1s depending on what you measure. Dollars, tokens, breadth of adoption, and depth of adoption disagree — that disagreement is the story.
Same data, one level coarser. Every model per vendor, summed into one row. Blended $/M is vendor-weighted by real usage, so premium vendors show their true price per token.

Monthly spend vs token volume, one bubble per vendor. Bubble size scales with apps using that vendor. The diagonal is even pricing — anything above charges more per token than the cluster, anything below charges less.
Where the dollars actually go. Summed across every app that uses each model.
