Why invest in an LLM API when you are a financial service provider?
I can’t see any obvious reason to use Stripe more because of this new product.
The only hypothesis I can think of is that AI token could be a ”currency” in the future. (Which doesn’t make sense when everyone will have local LLMs)

Because they want to charge for it: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/token-billing
1.Routes the request to the appropriate provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google).
2. Returns the model’s response to your application.
3. Records token usage for billing automatically.
4. Rejects requests when a customer has no credit left (when enabled for your account).
Does that mean all api calls to providers go through stripe?
Reading the justification for how much of a perfect partner stripe is for openrouter sounded made up, this makes it even better.

Models are already paying per search for gated access to higher accuracy info (this is abstracted by anthropic, chatgpt etc currently where they have cut deals w Google etc to allow their traffic through)
Models don’t currently interact with the economy directly in a real way (by eg themselves deciding to pay for a high quality information source), but they will within a few months as folks get more claw-like agents
Those transactions can happen with bitcoin…. or they can happen on stripe
At least that’s my read

I'm always surprised at how many people in the tech sector assume overcoming fundamental LLM weaknesses is always “just a matter of time,” and that time will arrive quickly enough to be relevant. If you haven’t seen any of the videos of people trying to get frontier LLMs to count consistently, you might think we’re further from LLM accountant than you realize. It’s not a data problem— I’m pretty sure they’ve encounte…
I'm not just talking about LLMs though. People thought the internet and email were just a fad that would never catch on. People thought that the idea of home computing was absurd. All because they only saw what was in front of them at the time. Also, how many accountants do you know that are truly happy with their work? I'd like to think many of them would love to do something other than crunch numbers all day.

Stripe wants to take a cut of as many transactions as possible. Think Visa. The more, the better.
They clearly see AI token usage as a new commodity and something that will grow and grow for a long time to come.
They want to do the same. Take a small cut from as many tokens being passed around as possible.
