OpenRouter CEO: Stripe has signed an agreement to acquire OpenRouter

On Twitter, OpenRouter CEO Alex Atallah announced that Stripe has signed an agreement to acquire OpenRouter. After the transaction is completed, OpenRouter will maintain its current name, product, roadmap, and mission, and will continue to adhere to the principle of model neutrality, and its model routing decisions will not change due to changes in the parent company.

Atallah said that OpenRouter currently has access to more than 400 AI models, serves more than 10 million developers and enterprises, processes more than 10 trillion tokens every day, and the amount of inference has increased at least tenfold every year since its inception. Regarding the reasons for choosing Stripe, Atallah said that the combination of Stripe's vast customer network, global infrastructure operation experience, and proven fraud and abuse management capabilities will allow OpenRouter to expand faster without sacrificing neutrality and mission.
