TL;DR · AI 摘要
OpenRouter数据显示,一年内周处理token量增长15.2倍,但最贵前沿模型使用占比从22%降至4%,体现经济规律对AI推理消费的影响。
核心要点
- OpenRouter平台周处理token量一年增长15.2倍,达27T/周
- 最昂贵前沿模型使用占比从22%大幅下降至4%
- 推理需求增速远超算力供给,价格机制开始发挥作用
total # tokens has gone from 1.78T / wk one year ago to 27T / wk today (15.2x).
but % usage of the frontier / most expensive model has gone from 22% one year ago (Sonnet 3.7) to just 4% today (Opus 4.6).
