Why was this flagged? This is absolutely true, Americans seem to not actually want to use Chinese models at least for coding, maybe for other inference use cases but I haven't seen it. No one I know uses anything but OpenAI and Anthropic even if Chinese models are better or cheaper in many use cases.
- tpm 3mo agoFirst 6 of the most used models on openrouter currently are Chinese; that's true for code generation and other coding-relevant tasks too when ranked by share of tokens. https://openrouter.ai/rankings#top-models https://openrouter.ai/rankings#top-models Of course openrouter is not representative because most users directly go to the model provider but it still proves your claim is very far from "absolutely true".
- satvikpendem 3mo agoA big slice of a small pie does not prove the majority. And I'm speaking as someone who is indeed a user of those OpenRouter Chinese models.
- tpm 3mo agothis is the first mention of a 'majority' so certainly looks like a moving goalpost
- satvikpendem 3mo agoEven if not majority, it doesn't invalidate the point that just because OpenRouter has them as its top models that they are in general use among the population, rather than localized.
