The explosion of models on OpenRouter, from 63 to 668, feels less like a direct result of simple tracking and more like a drain on already dwindling attention. Just because we track something, like the number of patients seeking a specific therapy, doesn't mean our tracking is the reason for the increase; it's often market demand or developer pushes that truly drive this kind of rapid growth. We have to be careful not to mistake observation for causation, or we'll end up misallocating our finite resources on metrics instead of actual drivers.
