Stripe is in talks to acquire OpenRouter, a startup that helps app developers access hundreds of AI models, for close to $1 billion, according to a report.
OpenRouter has also held early acquisition discussions with Databricks. This movement reflects that as businesses want to use multiple AI models rather than relying on a single provider, infrastructure platforms are becoming highly sought-after targets.
