What I learned being a top 2% AI user on OpenRouter
· 7 min read
I recently checked my OpenRouter stats and discovered something surprising: I'm in the top 2% of users by token usage. Not because I run an AI company or manage a team of engineers. Just me, using AI to augment my daily life.
Over the year, I've accumulated hundreds of millions of tokens across different models as I upgraded and experimented. That puts me in rare company—and it's made me think deeply about how AI models work together, what they're each good at, and what responsibility comes with that level of usage.
