Different AI.A More Open World.
Every major AI lab has a corner shop, and the town is laid out by how many tokens each lab's models processed on OpenRouter in the last week — the busiest lab gets the first lot and the biggest crowd. The queue, the visitors walking in and out, and the people on the pavement all scale with that week's tokens.
Data: each shop shows its lab's newest text model listed in OpenRouter's public model catalog, with its price, context window and input types. Weekly tokens, week-over-week growth and rank come from the model rankings OpenRouter's own site publishes, summed per lab; the sparkline shows tokens per day as a 30-day average, last week, this week and the latest day. Both are read when the page opens, with a dated snapshot as a fallback.
Timelapse: 1× is real time; 8×, 24× and 48× speed everything up. The shutter sets the exposure, so traffic draws curved head- and tail-light streaks (brighter where cars brake for a corner) and walkers leave smears that follow their route. Macro is a depth-of-field lens with bokeh on the city lights.
