OpenRouter announced it is officially part of Stripe. The company says over 10 million developers and companies use its platform to run AI across every model and provider — with access to new models, uptime through outages, and enforced spend and data policies per team.
Joining Stripe, which has run critical business infrastructure for years, means OpenRouter can build faster and support companies at every scale, while keeping its commitment to neutrality: models and providers compete on quality and reliability.
