Data cited by Techub from The Decoder shows that AI agents have been consuming more tokens than human users on OpenRouter since Feb. 6, 2025. From that date, agent usage increased 14-fold, while human usage rose 2.8-fold. The figures point to a sharp divergence in activity growth between automated users and humans on the platform. At the same time, the report says the headline token consumption numbers overstate the change in actual spending. Nearly 70% of agent token usage came from low-cost cached prompts, which means the increase in real costs was much lower than the raw token data suggests. The figures describe usage on OpenRouter and do not, on their own, imply an equivalent rise in revenue or expense.

The report added that nearly 70% of agent token consumption came from cheap cached prompts, meaning actual cost growth was far lower than the raw usage figures suggest.
