Chinese AI models have outpaced US counterparts in API call volume on OpenRouter for six consecutive weeks, with DeepSeek-V4-Flash leading and MiniMax M3 breaking into the global top three.
Nowhere have you given any explanation for why you believe OpenRouter wouldn’t be representative of broader trends. What the links show is that Qwen, Kimi, and other models are in fact being used by American companies. It should be obvious that using open models and APIs that cost a fraction of the cost would be attractive to companies, but clearly that’s too fantastical of an idea for you to take seriously. Also love how you latched on to me misremembering GLM instead of Kimi. Really highlights how you’ve really got no actual point to make here.
I’ve made at least 5 points, one of which from your own sources all of which you’ve ignored in favoring of dumbly repeating your line of openrouter being representative of broader trends which I’ve explained twice why it wouldn’t be true. Good day sir

It’s clearly what you think you did. Have a good rest of your day.
