About the data. Usage shares come from the Anthropic Economic Index (CC-BY 4.0), which classifies millions of real conversations. It measures usage of Claude, so it shows what AI is used for, not how each model is adopted. Time estimates are Anthropic’s, per conversation.
How models are matched. Each use case’s capability comes from its main output type in the Index. The chips show the models with the most OpenRouter spend on that kind of work. Release 2026-06-26 · dataset · retrieved Sep 19, 2026.
