OpenRouter is officially part of @stripe today!
More than 10 million developers and companies use OpenRouter, and as they build with more models across more workloads, they need control over what it costs and where their data goes.
OpenRouter has built that operating infrastructure to help run AI across every model and provider, with access to new models, uptime through outages, and enforced spend and data policies for each team.
Joining Stripe, which has spent years running critical infrastructure for businesses around the world, means we can build it faster and support companies at every scale.
Our commitment to neutrality stays the same. Models and providers compete on quality, reliability, and price. You decide what works for your business.
