OpenRouter rankings reflect API-first developer spend; direct customers like consumer ChatGPT are invisible by construction. openrouter.ai · view all →
+20
minimax/minimax-m2.7
was #49 on 2026-08-31
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.
