Openrouter provides a multi-model, multi-provider API for hosted LLMs. I myself used their API to compare different LLMs for document classification.
They provide usage rankings [1] and the top 10 applications, in terms of tokens used, are:
1. AI coding agent
2. AI coding agent
3. AI coding agent
4. Library for calling LLMs
5. Role play chat
6. Role play chat
7. Role play chat
8. General purpose chat
9. AI coding agent
10. Role play chat
Certainly, the coding agents are burning through far more tokens. No doubt about that.
And there's undoubtedly a major bias introduced by the fact chatgpt and claude $20/month accounts are heavily discounted, so if your use is SFW why pay more to get an uncensored model?
But overall, to me, the evidence seems pretty robust.
