LLM Token Market Share: free sample (Tensorust LLC)

Which models and labs win the tokens and which win the money on OpenRouter, per model, refreshed daily.

Headline: In the trailing week to Nov 6 2026, OpenRouter routed 205.4T tokens across 680 models, worth an estimated $81.7M at list price, and tokens and money split very differently.

This repository is a free teaser, not the dataset. It holds 25 example rows and a summary table with no names in it. The full file has 2,742 rows and is sold by Tensorust LLC: https://tensorust.com/datasets/openrouter-model-share/.

Method and limits

Each run saves a dated snapshot of OpenRouter's models API and its public rankings endpoints (models by day, week and month, market share, tools), matches each ranked model's permaslug to its list price, computes token share and rank within each snapshot and window, and rebuilds the weekly author and tool-call series from the latest snapshot. The Nov 5 2026 baseline is a weekly ranking captured earlier; every later day adds a new snapshot.

Not the whole LLM market (OpenRouter is one router; direct API traffic to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others is not in it), not revenue (spend is list price times tokens, ignoring discounts, caching and BYOK, and 264 of the 680 weekly models had no list price matched, so their spend is missing), and not a per-customer breakdown.
