$7B+ Reported acquisition deal price

Stripe a finalisé un accord pour acquérir OpenRouter, selon un nouveau rapport de Bloomberg.

OpenRouter aide les clients à sélectionner différents modèles d'IA pour accomplir différentes tâches, en fonction de leurs besoins spécifiques et de leur budget. L'entreprise a annoncé en mai qu'elle avait levé 113 millions $ lors d'une série B, à une valorisation rapportée de 1,3 milliard $. (Les investisseurs incluent Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Menlo Ventures et CapitalG d'Alphabet.)

À l'époque, le PDG d'OpenRouter, Alex Atallah, a décrit l'entreprise comme l'équivalent de Stripe pour l'IA, car elle fournit aux clients un point d'accès unique pour différents systèmes et évite le verrouillage. La startup a également affirmé avoir 8 millions d'utilisateurs mondiaux et fournir un accès à plus de 400 modèles.

The Wall Street Journal a rapporté le mois dernier que Stripe et OpenRouter étaient en pourparlers d'acquisition. Maintenant, Bloomberg a déclaré que ces discussions ont mené à un prix de transaction de plus de 7 milliards $.

Un porte-parole de Stripe a déclaré à TechCrunch que l'entreprise ne commente pas les rumeurs ou les spéculations.

Why this matters

If completed, a $7 billion-plus acquisition would mark a major institutional bet on AI model-routing infrastructure, an increasingly important layer for enterprises seeking to avoid dependence on a single model provider. Stripe ownership could affect how customers access, price, and route requests across competing AI providers, while signaling further consolidation in the AI infrastructure market.
