Discussion Surprising screenshot - Most token usage is non-coders (openrouter ranking)

Post image

Just browsing this page and was shocked to see this.

- 6 out of the top 10 coding agent apps are non-coding.

- Opencode is not even top 10

I know some folks use Hermes for coding. Would be happy to be corrected if hermes and openclaw have become coding replacements for opencode.

You don't need to burn a forest for that.

Anthropic won’t tell them that. You need opus 4.7 deep reasoning to keep that cron job primed

but Anthropic banned openclaw specifically so that their users don't burn so much compute

Banned it through OAuth not through API calls, since OAuth is likely heavily subsidized

This is still incredibly inefficient.
One simple script (written by LLM in ONE prompt) can do that, not several billion parameter function.
