OpenRouter
OpenRouter is a company that operates a platform connecting language models from multiple AI companies through a single API. Through OpenRouter, developers can call various models, including those from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini, in a unified way. OpenRouter does not develop models itself; rather, it brokers and provides access to models from various companies, which distinguishes it from individual model developers. In August 2026, news broke that Stripe had acquired OpenRouter, a platform handling 10 trillion tokens a day.
