Why would they want openerouter though? doesn't make any sense - Stripe is in financial markets and openrouter is in ai right? can somoene explain this pls?
Openrouter is a payment processor for ai essentially, when you use the service they just act as a middleman so you don’t have to pay or setup with so many different vendors.
I guess this kind of pay makes sense when you're buying a platform many people are using g as a core part of their AI implementations. Still seems like Stripe payed too much though at 7x.
Any reason for the share today?
