On August 7, financial technology company Stripe is conducting exclusive acquisition talks with AI model aggregation platform OpenRouter, with the deal valuation estimated at around $10 billion. Insiders say that OpenRouter has previously received acquisition interest from several major technology companies, but Stripe has now entered the exclusive negotiation stage. The transaction has not been finalized yet, and the specific terms may still change.
OpenRouter was founded in 2023 and positions itself as an AI infrastructure platform connecting users with multiple large language models. It allows developers to call AI models from companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google through a unified interface, and to choose different models based on performance, price, and availability.
If the deal goes through, it would become one of Stripe’s major moves in the AI space in recent years. Stripe has mainly focused on payment infrastructure, financial services, and enterprise software, and acquiring OpenRouter could further drive its expansion into AI developer infrastructure.
