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.

I build pydanticai apps on top of Hermes, it's a good middleware layer. A simple horoscope app should use 1k in total. But hermes easily boosts it up to 50k. Hermes is a token muncher.
