It's honestly insane how valuable so many startups end up being just from AI, wonder if therels ever going to be another breakthrough like this for future people

Why Stripe? 7 billion reasons to build a squidproxy

Just as the US deems China as a national security risk, I deem Israel to be a much bigger threat to my cybersecurity. Stripe has vocally supported Israel and I cannot trust any token coming out of OpenRouter after this. Their payment systems have been notoriously bad so this is cause for concern to me.

Stripe is a financial institution that has strict requirements for reporting and audits by the US government. It has blocked payments for numerous different services for no reason. I wouldn't trust any infrastructure built on OpenRouter.

What exactly is "Open" about OpenRouter anyway?

Kiss of death for OpenRouter.

In five years they will be struggling.

In ten they will be dead.

Congratulations to the open router team. Also: Praying for stripes imminent demise.

good move by stripe

With this I am looking to moving my operations to Eurorouter. I am so done with these people (stripe)

I dont use open router so can someone explain to me how it works in that different vendors have different api parameters?

is the selling point that they just give you access to a unified access in where you get to write each request toward the particular api provider's api spec? if so why not just sign up with the vendor directly?

Absolutely nuts to me that a front end aggregator of ai vendors — basically an proxy — plus telemetry is worth 7B

What a time to be alive. I’m going to take a 1% stake in a bridge and rename it bridge.ai and sell it for billions too

Amazing. Huge congrats to the Open Router team
