According to the latest monitoring data from OpenRouter, during the period from March 30 to April 5, the total global AI model usage surged to 27 trillion Tokens, a 18.9% increase compared to the previous period. In this competition for computing power, China's AI performance stood out particularly, with a weekly usage of 12.96 trillion Tokens, a 31.48% increase compared to the previous week. This is the fifth consecutive week that China has exceeded the US in terms of usage scale.

Grand Slam on the List: The Top Six Are All Made in China

On the global model usage ranking list, Chinese large models have shown dominant advantages, directly occupying the top six positions:

Ali Qwen continues to lead the ranking: Ali's Qwen3.6Plus (free) maintained the first position with a weekly usage of 4.6 trillion Tokens; its preview version Qwen3.6Plus Preview also ranked third.

Xiaomi shows steady performance: The previously top-ranked Xiaomi MiMo-V2-Pro slightly dropped to the second position this week but still contributed to a usage of 3.08 trillion Tokens.

Stars shine brightly: Step 3.5 Flash, MiniMax M2.7, and DeepSeek V3.2 respectively occupied the fourth to sixth positions.

Comparison between China and the US: Stock Competition or New Growth?

Data shows that the AI activity levels of China and the US present completely different growth trends:

China: Weekly usage increased by more than 31%, showing strong upward momentum and rapid industrial application.

US: The weekly usage was 3.03 trillion Tokens during the same period, with only a 0.76% increase, indicating a significant slowdown in growth rate.

Industry Insights: From "Follower" to "Definer"

The continuous leading position of Chinese large model usage reflects that the domestic AI industry has moved from simple technology following to a stage of large-scale application breakthroughs. From the traffic benefits brought by free strategies to the rapid improvement of the developer ecosystem, Chinese AI is profoundly reshaping the global industrial competition pattern through high cost-effectiveness and scenario adaptability.

Conclusion: A New Engine for the Digital Economy

Surpassing the US for five consecutive weeks is not only a numerical victory but also a reflection of the process of China's AI infrastructure development. As companies such as Alibaba, Xiaomi, and Stepwise Star continue to iterate, Chinese large models are expected to unleash potential in more vertical fields, injecting strong driving force from the East into the global digital economy.
