Site has extremely detailed stats by day/week for every model. Programming is by far the largest consumer of tokens, and in fact entire token growth in 2025 was only from programming. Other categories very flat. It is also a category where you would pay for better performance.
IMO, its relevant to this sub in that one of the top models, minimax, fits in under 256gb, but also that the trends are for cost effectiveness rather than “the absolute best”. There is a tangent insight as to whether US datacenter frenzy is needed.
kimi k2.5 being free on openclaw is a big reason for its total dominance. In week of Feb 2, minimax was only other top model to increase token usage. Opus 4.6 release seems to be extremely flat in reception.
Agentic trend tends to make LLM models disposable, since better ones are released every week, and the agents/platforms that can switch on the fly while keeping context, is something you can invest in improving while not being obsolete next month.
and the just the top 3 open ones are 50% in programming subsection, which I still think is most relevant to “performance/value”. More than these models growth, I was impressed by downtrend in big US provider models.
