A Friday fun-day look at the top LLM models (by some measures).

The one with the most tokens

I’m not sure how good this data is, but it’s pretty fun.

OpenRouter

Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Sonnet Unsupervised took the top-spots, with Gemini models nipping at their heels.

I’m not really sure what to make of this, except that perhaps it confirms some of the scuttlebutt that Claude is the best LLM for coding, and coding is the best use-case for AI, and Cursor (which uses Claude, among others) is the most popular app for AI coding.

Claude and Cursor FTW

The scuttlebutt is born out by the transaction data, as well.
