OpenRouter: from Seed to Stripe — with OpenRouter’s Alex Atallah & AMP’s Anjney Midha

OpenRouter scaled to 10M+ developers and 10T+ daily tokens by staying a neutral routing layer, culminating in a Stripe acquisition centered on token fraud defense.

• Stripe acquires OpenRouter: The deal closed with OpenRouter keeping its brand, roadmap, and name; Alex Atallah says the next six months look like independent OpenRouter, only faster.
• Massive scale reached: OpenRouter now serves over 10 million developers and processes more than 10 trillion tokens per day, up from roughly 100 trillion tokens total celebrated earlier in its history.
