Stripe has finalized a deal to acquire OpenRouter, according to a Bloomberg report. OpenRouter provides customers with access to multiple AI models tailored to specific tasks and budgets. The company raised $113 million in Series B funding in May at a $1.3 billion valuation, with investors including Sequoia and Alphabet’s Capital G.
OpenRouter CEO Alex Atallah previously described the company as the 'Stripe for AI,' emphasizing its role as a unified access point for different AI systems. The startup claims 8 million global users and access to more than 400 AI models. Bloomberg reports the acquisition price exceeds $7 billion, following months of discussions first mentioned by The Wall Street Journal.
A Stripe spokesperson declined to comment on rumors or speculation about the deal. The acquisition highlights growing interest in AI infrastructure as major tech companies expand their offerings. No specific location details were provided in the report.
