Stripe agrees to buy OpenRouter for more than $7 billion
On Sunday, August 16, Stripe finalized an agreement to acquire AI-model marketplace OpenRouter for more than $7 billion. Developers immediately debated whether Stripe was buying strategic control over model payments and routing, and whether OpenRouter's pricing or neutrality would change.
This story appears to describe a fictional acquisition that has not occurred. No such deal between Stripe and OpenRouter has been announced or confirmed.
