New in 2026: claude_code, cursor, grok, antigravity, opencode, claude_code_rollup, codex, cline, openclaw, copilot. Anything first seen mid-year was not being measured before that.

The cache did the heavy lifting

97.9% of the year's tokens were cache reads and writes. Without any cache at all the same work would have listed at $47,086 instead of $8,882. Both are usage measured at list rates, whether or not any of it was billed: the point is the scale of the work, not what anyone was charged.
