Can someone smarter than me explain the business rationale for this deal? 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)
Alex (the OpenRouter founder) and I went for walks to Sightglass coffee on Divisadero St during our weekly office hours @ HF0 in the Fall of '23. On one walk I asked 'why are you doing another startup?' For context, his last one, OpenSea, was valued well into the billions, so it wasn't for money.

Using Open in your company name, when there's nothing about it, should be illegal.
I love OpenRouter, long time user. Stripe will hopefully be a good custodian. I just want to point out some features of OpenRouter that make it more than just a model selection and routing endpoint and that I find incredibly useful: 0/ Default routing is to the cheapest provider, but they're usually not the most performant. I'd guess 99% of OpenRouter integrations never tweak the default routing. Here you can setup c…
