Stripe in talks to buy OpenRouter for ~10B

Damn, any alternatives?

Extremely relevant:

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just spend $1B reimplementing it?

(Of course that is absurd, $10M would be plenty)

Do they have to

Interesting. I guess it fits since Openrouter's main value is in consolidating payment to all these different model providers

Does it mean openrouter can't sustain on its own? If so, bad news, new owner 'd surely want it to be profitable, so expect price hike.. :<

Please, no.
