First 6 of the most used models on openrouter currently are Chinese; that's true for code generation and other coding-relevant tasks too when ranked by share of tokens.

Of course openrouter is not representative because most users directly go to the model provider but it still proves your claim is very far from "absolutely true".

A big slice of a small pie does not prove the majority. And I'm speaking as someone who is indeed a user of those OpenRouter Chinese models.

this is the first mention of a 'majority' so certainly looks like a moving goalpost

		Even if not majority, it doesn't invalidate the point that just because OpenRouter has them as its top models that they are in general use among the population, rather than localized.
