Hi there,
Stripe has signed an agreement to acquire OpenRouter.
Nothing about your integration changes. OpenRouter will continue to operate as it is: same name, same product, same roadmap, same mission. But now, we will do it faster, and with Stripe's unparalleled excellence and reach. Routing decisions will remain driven by one thing: what's best for you, the user.
There are few companies on earth we would have considered selling to; our mission, our neutrality, and our lead in the market make the story for independence strong. We would only join a company if we thought we could do more together, faster, without compromising any of them. Stripe is that company. For years, OpenRouter has been called "Stripe for LLMs."
We started OpenRouter in early 2023 on a simple belief: intelligence will be multi-model. No single model will win every task, and the frontier will move rapidly.
The full story, including why Stripe and what comes next, is here: Why OpenRouter is joining Stripe.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. We expect to close in the coming weeks.
Thank you. We're honored to be part of your journey, and we're just getting started.
Alex
Co-founder and CEO, OpenRouter
