WSJ reports that Stripe is in talks to acquire OpenRouter in a deal that could value the AI model-routing startup at about $10 billion.
- The report frames the talks as an early-stage acquisition discussion, not a completed deal.
- If it closes near that valuation, it would be one of the largest AI infrastructure acquisitions to date.
