Vercel released the data behind its AI Gateway leaderboards on July 14, licensing the dataset under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 and adding CSV downloads, a cached export endpoint, and shareable chart images, according to the company’s changelog.
The leaderboards rank four groups: individual models, the labs that build them, opted-in applications, and inference providers. Each entity is scored across a mix of request counts, tokens processed, money spent, and media generated, giving a rough proxy for how AI systems are actually used once they leave the lab.
Most usage-ranking data in AI infrastructure stays locked inside a single vendor’s dashboard. A licensed, downloadable feed of Vercel’s own gateway traffic gives outside researchers and rival platforms a provider-side read on adoption that does not depend on self-reported model benchmarks.
Vercel also added the ability to export any chart as a landscape, square, or portrait PNG with the title and branding intact, aimed at the sharing that already happens informally with screenshots.
Teams building competitive dashboards or tracking which models are gaining real production traffic can now pull Vercel’s numbers directly through the API instead of scraping the leaderboard pages by hand.
Vercel detailed the change in its July 14, 2026 changelog post, “Access and share AI Gateway leaderboard data.”
