openrouter top 5 by token volume this week:
ox alpha's (glm-5.3 flash) volume dropped by more than half – but it's still #1. the hype wave cooled, the promo expires in 5 days, and the leaderboard reshuffled underneath
1. glm 5.3 flash – 11.9t
2. gpt-5.6 luna – 11.6t
3. deepseek v4 flash – 11.3t
4. tencent hy4 preview – 11t
5. tencent hy3 – 5.25t
pricing: $0.05 to $0.834 per million input tokens. hy4 preview debuted at #4 with 11t tokens – tencent's 770b moe at $0.834/m input, the priciest model in the top 5.
biggest movers: luna surged from #7 to #2 with +137%. minimax m3 free appeared at #7 with +907%. mimo-v2.5 dropped from #3 to #8.
the post-hype leaderboard is more interesting than the hype itself – four models neck and neck, and tencent just proved builders will pay 16x the flash price for agent-grade reasoning.
