## Methodology

- Updates: Aggregated every hour. Days and weeks use UTC.
- Tokens: Input, output, reasoning, and cached tokens for each request.
- Users and sessions: Approximate counts of distinct users and OpenCode sessions.
- Cost: Session cost is the average cost per OpenCode session. Token prices are list prices from the OpenCode model catalog.
- Retention: The share of a model's users in one week who use it again the next week.
