Continued how? I have switched most of my personal LLM coding to DeepSeek V4 Flash since it was launched.
And now 100% to a mix of K3 / DeepSeek V4 / MiMo 2.5.
It's nice not being called a terrorist just because I told it to reverse engineer something.
At work they are still hemorrhaging money to Western providers due to enterprise contracts but I foresee they won't renew for much longer. Specially of the upcoming final version of DeepSeek V4 proves to be Opus+ level.
Anecdotes. Where's the data?
https://openrouter.ai/rankings#top-models
Chinese models dwarf USA models usage. And now there's a Fable/5.6 alternative. The gap widens.
Now go and ask for your GP poster for their data as well. Unless you're only interested in data that supports your bias ofc.
I've seen that, but that's clearly a skewed dataset, right? People using openrouter will be those seeking other models. They are not the same kind of people who mostly just use gpt or claude.
I would agree if openrouter was the only provider of those.
But those LLMs are also offered outside openrouter.
