bindureddy · x · 2026-08-23
Data from Vercel reveals a significant shift in usage patterns: open-source models have grown from 28% to 62% of token share over the last two months. This surge occurred even as the combined usage of OpenAI and Anthropic accelerated in July. Observers suggest that frontier models may eventually account for less than 5% of tokens, reserved only for the most complex tasks.
