AI token routing trends
Social Capital's line chart drew 295.7K views on X: 72x its typical post and #18 of 41 Social Capital charts we track by views. Read Oct 14, 2026.
In the last week of September, DeepSeek models processed more tokens on OpenRouter than OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and xAI models combined.
Why it spread
This post spread because it made a striking comparison between Chinese and American models using a line chart, and it reached 292,324 views with 627 likes, 145 reposts, 83 quotes and 273 saves, which is 89.6x the account's normal performance of 7 likes.
What worked
- The post text made a bold, specific claim about DeepSeek processing more tokens than OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and xAI combined in the last week of September.
- The chart was a line chart showing weekly tokens routed through OpenRouter by Chinese and American models, with medium design polish, medium self labelling and a source line.
- The post landed in the top quarter for quote rate and the bottom quarter for source reach, and it was branded, which helped it travel as a shareable comparison.
What to borrow
We could use the same form by taking one clear weekly metric from our own data, comparing two groups in a single line chart, and writing a short post text that states the comparison plainly.
Careful
Do not over-read the source reach, since it sat in the bottom quarter, and do not assume the same framing will work for every topic just because this post beat the account's normal likes by 89.6x.
