> Two new models are now beating LLM darling Claude in terms of token usage and by more than 50%?

Time for a reminder that OpenRouter leaderboards only show tokens sent through OpenRouter, which most Anthropic API users don’t use.

I would think that's true for all the models on OR. The data is skewed for sure, but it's interesting none the less.

That doesn't mean it can't be used as a market signal. These 2 things can both be true at once.

I'm pretty sure the popularity came from being free at some point

Notice that Hy3 Preview usage didn’t go down after the free period was over https://openrouter.ai/tencent/

The list of apps using Hy3 Preview shows Hermes Agent causing 65% usage over the last 3 weeks https://openrouter.ai/tencent/hy3-preview/apps

  Hermes Agent      72B
  OpenClaw          10B
  OpenHands          9B
  Claude Code        8B
  Kilo Code          8B

Are you next going to say YouTube rankings don't take into account videos that aren't on YouTube and Spotify rankings don't take into account songs that aren't on Spotify?
