100万亿Token揭示今年AI趋势！硅谷的这份报告火了

Core Insights - The report titled "State of AI: An Empirical 100 Trillion Token Study with OpenRouter" analyzes the usage of over 300 models on the OpenRouter platform from November 2024 to November 2025, focusing on real token consumption rather than benchmark scores [3][6][8]. Group 1: Open Source vs. Closed Source Models - Open source models (OSS) have evolved from being seen as alternatives to closed source models to finding their unique positioning, becoming the preferred choice in specific scenarios [9]. - The relationship between open source and closed source models is now more complementary, with developers often using both types simultaneously [10]. - The usage of open source models is expected to reach approximately one-third by the end of 2025, with Chinese models experiencing significant growth from 1.2% to 30% in weekly usage share [12][13]. Group 2: Market Dynamics and Model Diversity - The dominance of DeepSeek as the largest contributor to open source model usage is diminishing as more models enter the market, leading to a diversified landscape [16]. - By the end of 2025, no single model is expected to maintain over 25% of token usage, with the market likely to be shared among 5 to 7 models [17][18]. - The report indicates a shift towards medium-sized models, which are gaining market favor, while small models are losing traction [20][21]. Group 3: Evolution of Model Functionality - Language models are transitioning from dialogue systems to reasoning and execution systems, with reasoning token usage surpassing 50% [22]. - The use of model invocation tools is increasing, indicating a more competitive and diverse ecosystem [29][31]. - AI models are evolving into "intelligent agents" capable of independently completing tasks rather than just responding to queries [43]. Group 4: Usage Patterns and User Retention - The complexity of tasks assigned to AI has increased, with users now requiring models to analyze extensive documents or codebases [35]. - The average input to models has quadrupled, reflecting a growing reliance on contextual information [36]. - The "glass slipper effect" describes how certain users become highly attached to models that perfectly meet their needs upon release, leading to high retention rates [67][70]. Group 5: Regional Insights and Market Trends - The share of paid usage in Asia has doubled from 13% to 31%, indicating a shift in the global AI landscape [71]. - North America's AI market share has declined to below 50%, while English remains dominant at 82%, with Simplified Chinese holding nearly 5% [80]. - The impact of model pricing on usage is less significant than expected, with a 10% price drop resulting in only a 0.5%-0.7% increase in usage [80].
