AI Gateway production index
Vercel's AI Gateway data shows Anthropic leading in spend despite higher prices, Google leading in volume, and agentic workloads accounting for 59% of token volume.
What: According to Vercel's AI Gateway production index, Anthropic is currently leading in spending among AI models, despite its higher unit price, while Google holds the lead in token volume. Open-source models are gaining traction, but users show little loyalty to specific AI labs. OpenAI's spend share is rapidly increasing following its recent model updates. Significantly, agentic workloads now represent 59% of all token volume processed through the gateway.
Why it matters: This data provides a snapshot of the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem, highlighting the competitive landscape among major model providers, the rising importance of open-source solutions, and the increasing adoption of complex agentic AI applications.
Takeaway: Developers building agentic AI applications should note that such workloads represent a significant majority of token volume, suggesting a growing trend towards more autonomous AI systems.
Decoder
- Agentic workloads: AI tasks or applications designed to act autonomously or semi-autonomously, often involving a sequence of steps, decision-making, and interaction with various tools or environments.
- Token volume: The total number of tokens (parts of words or subwords) processed by an AI model, used as a measure of usage and cost.
- Spend share: The proportion of total expenditure attributed to a particular AI model provider.
