THE STATE OF AI

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

The past year in AI has seen rapid shifts in capability, adoption, and developer behavior. These changes have reshaped how we build and interact with intelligent systems. This post looks at a new study that examines these changes through more than 100 trillion tokens of real-world model usage from OpenRouter. The goal of the study was to provide a large-scale empirical picture of what people do with AI today and what that tells us about the future of the industry.
