alt Hacker NewsOpenRouter is a proxy, not an automatic router. Rather than building API clients for five different AI providers, you build one client to OpenRouter, and switching models become extremely easy. This matters when new models are coming out virtually every day.

Does that means if by any chance all frontier model companies agrees to use an open protocol for the API open router would go out of business?

Dumb question but aren’t they all OpenAI API compliant? I thought that was pretty standard, eg I know Anthropic works with it. Also Claude Code can work with different models, they’re probably not using OpenRouter for that?
