+32

deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro

was #42 on 2026-04-30

OpenRouter request volume reflects developer API spending, not end-user adoption. Biased toward API-first workflows that route through OpenRouter — direct OpenAI / Anthropic / Google customers who never use OpenRouter are invisible.

Benchmark movers

No rank changes in the LMArena top 3

Why this matters · Public benchmarks are gameable, but rank shuffles still hint at where the frontier is genuinely moving.
