DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash
What the OpenRouter rankings show in October 2026
DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash holds 22.64% of tracked OpenRouter tokens, moving +19.11pp over the last 30 days. At the lab level, DeepSeek accounts for 28.8% of all traffic across 5 models.
Share is computed from the daily token counts OpenRouter publishes, archived once a day so that 7-day and 30-day changes compare like for like. Estimated dollars apply each model's list price (30% prompt / 70% completion) to its token volume, which is why a model can carry a large share of tokens and a small share of spend.

OpenRouter rankings FAQ
- What are the OpenRouter rankings?
- A daily ranking of every model routed through the OpenRouter gateway, ordered by the share of tokens it processes. Tidelines archives the public OpenRouter token counts each day and computes share, momentum and estimated spend from them.
- Which model has the highest OpenRouter usage?
- DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (DeepSeek) leads with 22.64% of tracked OpenRouter tokens as of 2026-10-08.
- How often do the rankings update?
- Once a day. Each day's snapshot is archived, so the 7-day and 30-day changes are measured against real historical data rather than recomputed estimates.
- Is this the same as an LLM benchmark leaderboard?
- No. Benchmark leaderboards score models on test sets. These rankings measure what developers actually send traffic to and pay for.
