OpenRouter rankings frustrate me, because they show the total number of tokens but they provide no indication of how many unique users a model has.

Which means if a surprise model tops the leaderboard one week we can never be sure if it was because a single whale user pushing billions of tokens a day switched to it, or if it represents a genuine community trend towards that model.

First model I've tried that gave me back HTML with a "Change Pelican Color" button: https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/hy3-preview-pel... (Transcript: https://gist.github.com/simonw/c2a0d8ecd3056a2681319eae8fc3f... )

Haha does it get bonus points for the extra button, or does it fail because html != SVG?

For the life of me I will never understand the thought process that leads you to say "we don't really know who developed this LLM but I'm going to feed all of my business's data to it"

what can it do ? it's just a big set of numbers, if you trust the host that's good enough

Any bonus points for the color sre immediately subtracted because the "animate wheels" button leaves the wheels stationary and makes the sun rotate.

If you are ok with everything being fed into it being stored forever I guess it’s no problem. I don’t see how you trust them if you don’t know them.

If you Code open source projects anyway, might give it a spin.

Your business data is probably worthless, even considered harmful for the pretrain corpus.

Your interactions and decision making process are most valuable parts of the whole business.

Who is "them" here? The developers and the hosts are not the same.
