19 Aug 2026 1 min read News · Funding

Reports put the price above $7 billion. OpenRouter raised money at a reported $1.3 billion valuation only months earlier.

## What OpenRouter does

OpenRouter gives businesses one access point to more than 400 models from over 80 providers, routing each request by complexity, price, speed and reliability. Customers include NVIDIA, Zoom and Lovable.

## The deal

The price is reported at more than $7 billion, months after OpenRouter raised at a reported $1.3 billion valuation. For Stripe, tokens are now a billable unit, and per-call model fees are a new payment flow.
