All of npm (total downloads)

589B +63.5% yr as of Aug 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

148M +458.8% yr as of Aug 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)

92.1M +829.4% yr as of Aug 2026

A different package used the npm name `ai` before Vercel took it over, so this line starts in January 2023.

@google/generative-ai

17.5M +246.8% yr as of Aug 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.
