All of npm (total downloads)

629B +62.7% yr as of Jul 2026

This line counts every package on npm, not only AI packages. It is a control: the AI lines are a small part of it.

npm downloads

openai

130M +457.3% yr as of Jul 2026

Developers also use this package with other vendors, because those vendors copy OpenAI's API. The true OpenAI number is lower.

ai (Vercel AI SDK)

78.7M +809.9% yr as of Jul 2026

@google/generative-ai

16.4M +250.7% yr as of Jul 2026

This is Google's old Gemini SDK. Developers moved to the new @google/genai, so the fall here shows a move, not less use of Google.
