1. tencent hy4 preview – 19.1t
2. openai gpt-5.6 luna – 14.2t
3. deepseek v4 flash – 12.4t
4. z-ai glm 5.3 flash – 12.3t
5. xiaomi mimo-v2.5 – 5.15t
pricing: $0.068 to $0.834 per million input tokens. hy4 preview is 12x more expensive than deepseek v4 flash – and it's routing nearly twice the tokens.
last week 4 models were within 1t of each other. this week hy4 broke away by 5t. glm 5.3 flash lost #1 as its promo pricing expired. gemini 3.8 flash entered at #10 with ↑691% growth.
builders stopped picking the cheapest model. they started picking the right one per task – and the leaderboard split into lanes.
