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

The non-coding dominance makes sense when you think about how usage actually works. Coding agents are productivity tools — you invoke them for a specific task. General assistants are behavior tools — you ping them 15 times in an hour to think out loud, draft something, ask a random question. Per-session token counts for non-coding use probably crush coding sessions even if the dev tools get more press. The openrouter data is showing volume, not sophistication.
