Xiaomi now processes more AI tokens than OpenAI. On OpenRouter, Chinese models just crossed 45% of all token volume. Anthropic is at 15.3%. OpenAI is at 7.4%. For now, the frontier is American models, but the volume is Chinese models. Open source models are often good enough at coding and agents for most tasks, can ship a 1M token context window, and cost a fraction of GPT or Claude. 80% as good at 20% of the price is pretty freaking attractive to a procurement team.
