AI usage tracking — how the world uses AI, live
AI Traffic.pro measures global AI usage in real time across 44 providers — ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Claude AI, Grok, Qwen, Z.ai (GLM), Kimi, Perplexity, Midjourney, Sora, ElevenLabs and more.
How our estimates work
Estimates are normalized from public rate cards, activity signals, search trends, and provider data. They are designed for comparison and trend detection, not official provider reporting — so you can trust the direction, the ranking and the timing signals.
Who has the most AI traffic?
ChatGPT usage dwarfs every rival — over an estimated billion requests per day. Gemini holds #2 through Android and Search distribution, while DeepSeek and Grok are the fastest risers of 2025. Claude AI punches above its web traffic thanks to enterprise API usage.
Peak status per provider
Every row carries its own live peak indicator: OFF-PEAK (cheap & fast), NORMAL, or PEAK NOW — computed from each provider's audience regions and usage rhythm, plus a 24-hour load curve with the current hour marked in white.
Why peak hours matter
Between 20:00–23:00 UTC, AI systems run hottest: queues grow, latency climbs, and pay-per-use cost pressure peaks. Running batch workloads between 03:00–06:00 UTC is typically ~20–25% cheaper and faster.
