Stripe Completes OpenRouter Acquisition to Expand Its AI Infrastructure Business

Stripe has completed its acquisition of OpenRouter, adding an AI model-routing platform used by more than 10 million developers and businesses to its AI infrastructure business.

Stripe announced that OpenRouter is now part of the company. The two businesses plan to work together to help businesses explore new business models and optimize token routing and usage. The planned collaboration links OpenRouter's model-routing service with Stripe's AI infrastructure business.

OpenRouter said more than 10 million developers and businesses use its service. The company gave a combined count for the two groups, not separate totals. The figure provides a measure of the platform's current reach as it joins Stripe.

The companies' stated work centers on business models and token routing and usage. That leaves two defined areas for collaboration: helping companies identify new ways to do business and improving how they route and use tokens. The acquisition is complete; the parties' announced work is the next development.
