DeepSeek V4 Flash reaches 72.2 billion tokens in weekly usage, leading global AI model rankings

Huo Xing Finance reports, according to data from the multi-model aggregation platform OpenRouter, DeepSeek V4 Flash ranked first in the global AI large model usage leaderboard for the week of July 27 to August 2, with 7.22 trillion tokens processed. Data from the open platform OpenCode shows that on August 1 alone, this model handled 8 trillion tokens. Four of the top five models are Chinese: Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5 (5.1 trillion), Tencent Hunyuan Hy3 (5.01 trillion), and another DeepSeek V4 Flash (3.45 trillion) ranked second through fourth, while OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Luna (2.99 trillion, up 738% week-over-week) came in fifth. Chinese large models collectively processed 28.13 trillion tokens last week, marking the 14th consecutive week they have surpassed U.S. usage and maintained the global lead. Previously prominent Kimi K3 dropped out of the top ten this week, placing 12th. Notably, free models are capturing an increasing share of traffic, with some recording week-over-week growth exceeding 50%. Analysts note that Chinese models have shifted from price-based competition to competing on inference performance and reliable service delivery; however, OpenAI, Anthropic, and others continue rapid iteration, accelerating the pace of internal market momentum shifts—product iteration speed will determine user retention.
