Китайские модели заняли весь топ-5 OpenRouter: MiMo-V2.5 лидирует с 10,5 трлн токенов

In late July 2026, the OpenRouter platform published its weekly ranking of language models by volume of tokens processed — and for the first time, all five top spots in the ranking were occupied by models from Chinese companies: Xiaomi, DeepSeek, and Tencent.

Who Made the Top-5?

Leading the way is MiMo-V2.5 from Xiaomi with 10.5 trillion tokens per week — a 12% increase over the previous week. Second and fifth place went to two DeepSeek models covering different segments: a lightweight version for fast and cost-efficient scenarios, and the flagship Pro for coding, complex reasoning, and multi-step agentic planning. According to the company, the Pro version is comparable to leading closed Western models on key tasks.

• 1st place: MiMo-V2.5 (Xiaomi) — 10.5 trillion tokens/week, +12%
• 2nd and 5th place: DeepSeek — lite model and flagship Pro
• 3rd place: Hunyuan 3 (Tencent) — open-source since July 6, 2026, weekly growth of over 999%

It is also noteworthy that DeepSeek holds two spots in the same ranking. This "two-tier" strategy allows the company to capture maximum demand: the lightweight model runs on mass pipelines, while the Pro version handles tasks where accuracy is critical.

Why Did Hunyuan 3 Grow 999% in One Week?

Tencent opened Hunyuan 3 to the public on July 6, 2026 — and in the first weeks after release, the weekly usage volume grew by more than 999%. According to OpenRouter, this is the record weekly growth in the current ranking.

Such an explosive start is typical for strong open-source releases: once open weights are available, developers immediately integrate the model into pipelines without waiting for a commercial API. Hunyuan 3 entered the top-5 despite having been publicly available for significantly less time than the other ranking participants.

According to the weekly

OpenRouter report cited by 人民财讯 (People Finance News), for the first time in the platform's history, all five top spots were taken by products from a single country — China.

What All Five Models Have in Common

OpenRouter is a global aggregator that allows developers to connect to hundreds of language models through a single API. The platform's weekly ranking reflects the total token volume over seven days — this is real usage in production systems, not academic benchmarks.

All five participants in the current top share a short time from release to ranking entry: MiMo-V2.5 and Hunyuan 3 appeared in 2026 and climbed to the top spots within a few weeks. DeepSeek has been consistently present in the ranking thanks to wide distribution through open weights and a competitive price-to-performance ratio.

What This Means

Five out of five spots in OpenRouter's global token volume ranking were occupied by Chinese models — for the first time in the platform's history. The ranking reflects billions of real API calls from independent developers worldwide: only models that are actually integrated into production products make it there. Western labs maintain their positions in enterprise contracts and academic research, but in the open developer market, competition has become truly global.
