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

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.
Today we’re launching the Gemini Decisions API, powered by our new Gemini Decision 1 model in @GoogleAIStudio. Instead of generating text token by token, it’s built for closed-set choices scoring up to 1,000 questions across text, images, audio, video + PDFs in a single pass. A few details: - 3 decision types: yes/no, multiple choice (up to 255 options) + rubric scoring - $0.10 / 1M input tokens with $0 billed for output tokens (~5x cheaper than Flash-Lite) - leads on several benchmark evals with lowest calibration error Google teams are already building with it, below is a look at Stitch Rapid designing a full product flow in seconds (1x speed)

The clearest representation of OpenRouter's value prop. A transparent market improves efficiency for both providers and users! If you just use OpenRouter your inference gets cheaper and faster over time, and you don't have to do anything!
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.

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.
OpenRouter is now part of Stripe. Stripe is building the economic infrastructure for AI. Together with OpenRouter, we’ll help businesses explore new models and optimize token routing and usage.

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.

👋 Hi, I'm Kenny. A few things about me: I've been building and coding for 14 years. In 2014 I started coding professionally as a web dev for a couple of agencies and my city government, then did DevRel at Stacks. Now I'm DevRel Lead at @OpenRouter, a husband and dad of two boys with one more on the way. Currently building Tolara, an AI running and fitness story app. I've studied theology for years and am semi-obsessed with it. I believe powerful technology that helps people gain economic freedom and enrich others' lives, paired with wisdom, can change the world. Follow along for experiments with AI, what's actually working for me, and reflections on using AI and technology intentionally and for the good of ourselves and humanity as a whole.

surrrprisee!! crouton-alpha 🥐 was an early version of muse ember 🔥 we fixed a bunch of the issues before launch—thanks for all the testing! we processed over 5T tokens in testing—excited to see where you all take this model next!
Stealth model reveal 🥐 Crouton Alpha was an early version of @AIatMeta's just-released Muse Ember, their new smallest model designed for scalable agentic execution. Thanks to the many developers whose feedback helped shape the final release 🙏

Muse Ember from @AIatMeta is now live on OpenRouter! 🔥 Your coding agent just got a whole crew. Use a frontier model like Muse Wonder to plan, then fan the bounded sub-tasks out to Muse Ember and watch them fly 🚀
