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.

The best way to see what founders are building? Let them demo it.
Our first @OpenRouter In Production event featured live demos from the founders of @olam_labs, @browser_use, and @userlens_hq.
For round two on Nov 17, we're partnering with @ElevenLabs in SF. This time, it’s all about what startups are building with voice models.
RSVP & let me, @thechangj, or @dasha_shunina know if you wanna demo: luma.com/wvw8xwsi
Google's very first decision model is here, and it's on OpenRouter from day one.
Gemini Decision 1 answers yes/no, multiple choice, and score questions with a probability, for $0.10/M input and free output.

Gemini Decision 1 from @GoogleAIStudio is live on OpenRouter!
Google's first decision model. Hand it text, images, audio, video, or a PDF plus typed questions, and it answers yes/no, picks from up to 255 options, or scores, each with a probability. 262K context.
MAI Transcribe 2 requests are up 12× since launch on OpenRouter.
8.5M transcriptions last week, up from 0.7M in its first week in Sept.
The whole speech-to-text category saw requests grew 3x over the same timeframe.

Here's an animation of cost and speed improving over time since the launch of our new routing algorithm.
Counter to what many people believe, this shows how routing actually increases reliability!
The Extractions API is now live in alpha on OpenRouter.
Use it to pull specific details out of text, images, and PDFs by describing the fields you need, like the names in an email or the total on a receipt, and get each one back as structured data.
Read the guide: openrouter.ai/blog/announcem…
ScaleDown Extract reads text, PDFs, and images:

Inference is faster, more reliable, and cheaper on OpenRouter.
Over the past month, users of GLM 5.3 Flash have seen TTFT fall 40%, throughput up 10%, and $/1M drop 17%.
All thanks to our new routing algorithm that rewards providers serving great inference with more traffic.

OpenRouter is officially part of Stripe!
No single lab will build all the intelligence the world needs. We’re building OpenRouter so every developer and business can choose the best of it, wherever it comes from.
Every model stays on equal footing. With Stripe, we can bring that choice to the millions of businesses that run there.
Long term, we aim to connect the rails that move the economy’s money with the rails that move its intelligence, and build the best developer experience for both.
KT is now a provider on OpenRouter, serving 7 models from its data centers in Korea.
That includes 2 new to OpenRouter: Mi:dm K 3.0 Pro, KT’s own reasoning model, and Motif 3, trained for tasks in both Korean and English.
Try them out: openrouter.ai/provider/kt

OpenRouter is serving ~125% more tokens per week than it was when we first announced this acquisition in August.
We have a lot of ideas for how to integrate Stripe's and OpenRouter's capabilities in the months ahead.

If you use agents like @Muse, @OpenAI dots, @bot, or @claudeai Duet, giving them the @OpenRouter MCP is like unlocking a superpower.
These agents are amazing, but one big upgrade we can unlock is giving them access to every model.
And you can do that in about 30 seconds with the OpenRouter MCP, here's how and a few of the workflows I'm using right now in Grok Bot 👇

Congratulations to @OpenRouter on officially joining @stripe! 🎉
In just three years, @alexatallah and the team made OpenRouter one of the most important companies of the AI era. Stripe's acquisition is powerful validation of both what they've built and the importance of the category they helped define.
We're proud to have been a part of the journey, from the seed round to doubling down on their Series B earlier this year.

Boot up Inkling 2 Small on @OpenRouter, see what it can do.
Inkling 2 Small from @thinkymachines is free on OpenRouter for a limited time.
It pairs vision with agentic coding, using visual feedback to build and refine websites, games, and 3D designs.
Use it at $0 inside agentic harnesses like Claude Code, Codex and Hermes Agent.
