Tool Health
#5 incidents in the last 24h (vs 3 yesterday)
Why this matters · Provider outages and degradations cause retry storms upstream. Tracking the 7-day shape catches flapping providers before they page you.

SDK adoption
#5 notable shifts across the six registries
Why this matters · Package install volume is where developers place real bets — distinct from where labs are shipping marketing.

Agent frameworks
#4 agent frameworks moved >10% in the last week
Why this matters · Agent frameworks rise and fall on weekly download velocity and open-issue trajectory, not GitHub stars.

Model Usage
#deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash holds #1 · biggest mover: stepfun/step-3.7-flash +22 to #12 · biggest drop: qwen/qwen3.6-plus -15
Why this matters · OpenRouter rankings reflect API-first developer spend; direct customers like consumer ChatGPT are invisible by construction.
stepfun/step-3.7-flash climbed +22 to #12
was #34 on 2026-06-02
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.
qwen/qwen3.6-plus slipped -15 to #50
was #35 on 2026-06-02
#1 deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash
