OSS models decisively overtook Proprietary models in market share

Charts below track how API traffic is distributed across LLM labs on OpenRouter, updated daily. Main fact we<br>want to highlight here is the explosion in popularity of OSS models.<br>Huge thanks to OpenRouter for publishing this data.

Intro

The data below contains compilation of the daily token consumption<br>number published by OpenRouter, updated every day. We pick the top 10 labs and analyze their models' usage<br>numbers across all providers.

OSS vs Proprietary Token Share

From June 2026, the OSS models have taken a decisive lead over<br>proprietary models. Exactly 3 months ago in March 2026, it was a 60-40 split in favor of Proprietary models.<br>As of mid June 2026, the split reversed to 60-40 in favor of OSS models (analysis of ~6 Trillion tokens per day). Note that while absolute token<br>consumtion rose for both OSS and Proprietary (mouseover to see), OSS rose much faster.

Compares total token share of open-source / open-weight labs vs<br>proprietary labs.

Each line shows a Lab's percentage of total tokens consumed<br>that day. This means a lab with rising absolute token consumption could still fall relatively.

The sum of all labs' daily tokens shows how the aggregate token<br>consumption has been on a tear.

Methodology

Data source: OpenRouter aggregate daily usage across all API<br>labs.

Tokens: Input + output tokens combined per lab per day.

Partial-day exclusion: The latest day is always dropped because<br>it contains incomplete data.

Lab: A model creator company as opposed to API host (e.g. OpenAI,<br>Anthropic, Google,<br>Mistral).

Free-model exclusion: Usage of<br>xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro-20260318 is excluded for March 18 – April 2, 2026<br>because the model was offered for free during that period, which would otherwise<br>distort market share figures.
