Top 10 — token volume
Usage is the honest benchmark.
These rankings measure real production traffic: the tokens developers and teams route through frontier models every day. "Trending" compares the last 7 days against the 7 days before — the fastest way to spot a model breaking out. Inside MultipleChat you can put the top-ranked models side by side and let them collaborate on one answer.
