Open Source AI Token Share on Vercel Jumps from 28% to 62%
Borthwick · x · 2026-08-24
Citing data from Vercel, Gavin Baker highlights that open-source AI's token share surged from 28% to 62% over the last two months. This growth occurred even as usage of OpenAI and Anthropic accelerated in July, indicating that total AI infrastructure demand is accelerating faster than frontier model growth. The trend is positive for AI infrastructure demand because open-source lowers margins at the model layer while consuming similar compute costs per token as frontier models.
