OpenRouter routes access to over 400 AI models and charges about a 5% cut of inference spend. The deal would shift Stripe to own the routing layer that lets developers switch model providers without code changes.

The company says the result is up to 12× more hardware-efficient, and it intends to license the model to “trusted partners” on Azure as a starting point for a new line of LLMs that can be shaped with additional training.
