Share over the last 7 days (Sep 4, 2026 to Sep 10, 2026). Blended price in US dollars per million tokens, weighted 75% input and 25% output. A dash means the number is not published, not zero.

What this page doesn't say. Share here is a slice of one router's traffic, where the deciding factor is usually price per token. It is not market, revenue or user share, and it does not tell you which model fits your workload.
