OpenRouter shows 25,000% spike in weekly token consumption since Jan 2025

The Decoder reports that OpenRouter’s weekly token consumption rose from about 0.5 trillion tokens in January 2025 to roughly 126.2 trillion tokens, a >25,000% increase. The piece cautions this mostly reflects inflated token metrics — e.g., reasoning/agentic models generating large 'thinking' token volumes and GPT-5.6 Luna producing many tokens per prompt — rather than a commensurate jump in end-user adoption or business value; OpenAI’s Astra leads revenue and some Chinese models (Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek) show fast growth from a small base.

Identity Is More Than Recall — PAI-Bench: a benchmark for persistent identity in deployed AI agents (arXiv)

An arXiv paper introduces PAI-Bench, a provider-neutral benchmark and evaluation protocol that separates factual recall from identity expression and behavioral enactment for deployed AI agents. The study runs two frozen campaigns over 16 synthetic profiles and reports results (1,536 retained responses) showing prompt- and startup-cue-dependent differences in identity-component presence, as well as evaluator sensitivity differences between tested deployments (e.g., Claude vs. Astra); the authors note single-sample conditions and post-hoc follow-ups.
