OpenRouter is officially part of Stripe. Founder Alex Atallah says no single lab will build all the intelligence the world needs — OpenRouter lets every developer and business choose the best models on equal footing, and Stripe brings that choice to millions of businesses.
Long term, the goal is to connect the rails that move the economy's money with the rails that move its intelligence, building the best developer experience for both.
