Thank you @alexatallah @cclark and @louis_g_v for letting Founders’ Co-op and the fndtns.org community follow along with your journey since the seed. Ya’ll are absolute beasts and deserve all of your success. Unfortunately, I will now be forever disappointed in any other investment’s IRR 😂🥇❤️🙏 PS: @seawatts drinks are on you next time

OpenRouter is joining Stripe: stripe.com/newsroom/news/str…. As anyone who uses it knows, @OpenRouter is a truly delightful developer tool. It is by far the best way to use new models and manage multiple inference providers. OpenRouter is also playing an increasingly important role: in the future, every business will have to manage both revenue flows and token flows. OpenRouter is the world's leading token marketplace, helping businesses effectively allocate the new currency of intelligence capital. We think that there's a lot to build together.

OpenRouter is joining Stripe. We started OpenRouter with a simple mission: intelligence should be multi-model. Today, we are the largest AI marketplace & gateway, processing 10T+ tokens daily on 400+ models. Joining @Stripe gives us the opportunity to accelerate that mission.

We're giving you a $10 coupon to build on Ori Harness this weekend What will you build? Run your favorite agent - Claude Code, Codex, DeepSeek, and more - with 500+ models, 70+ providers, all in one account, on OpenRouter Redeeming is easy:

"claude complete" is the new "code complete"

Introducing the OpenRouter MCP, live model intelligence right inside your agent Your agent builds and ships, but when it comes to choosing the right model for the right job, it guesses from 6 month old training data Watch it pick, price, and test the right model:

Today we’re announcing our $113M Series B led by @CapitalGVC. Over the last 6 months, weekly volume on OpenRouter grew from 5T to 25T tokens as AI rapidly shifts from experimentation into production. We’re excited for what comes next.

Just launched some great new providers in Stripe Projects (projects.dev): @huggingface @Cloudflare @OpenRouter @firecrawl @flydotio @Amplitude_HQ @mixpanel @inngest Many more coming later this month.

New providers now available in Stripe Projects: @huggingface @Cloudflare @OpenRouter @firecrawl @flydotio @Amplitude_HQ @mixpanel @inngest

A feature everyone missed. One-click observability for @n8n_io, Moltbolt, custom apps, or even Claude Code (yes, it can work with @openrouter). What catched my attention: sending your traces not just to common providers but also to your webhooks -> custom data viewer.

NEW: Smarter error messages for JSON healing ❤️‍🩹 When models return arrays (68% of failures) or strings instead of objects, you'll now get guidance: - Arrays: Use json_schema {"type": "array"} or wrap in an object - Strings: Explicitly request JSON in your prompt

The OpenRouter SDK is the first agentic SDK native to Open Responses Easy to get started:

I am curious, what are your biggest pain points when building custom agents? What are the biggest issues or frustrations with current libraries? I want to make 2026 the year that building agents is not just possible, but enjoyable!

Introducing Response Healing: automatic JSON repair for structured outputs ❤️‍🩹 LLMs break JSON more than you'd think. OpenRouter can now automatically fix malformed responses. Results from 5M+ requests last week:

🔍@openrouter just made observability even easier. Their new Broadcast feature lets you send all your traces directly to LangSmith with no code changes required — whether you’re tracing with LangChain, provider SDKs, or the OpenRouter SDK. Demo: piped.video/watch?v=2EBPg42k… Docs: openrouter.ai/docs/guides/fe…

You can now stream your generations straight to LangSmith! Works even if your app goes down, so you never miss a thing

🔊 Announcing "Broadcast": fan-out LLM observability! Broadcast is a simple way to automatically send traces from your OpenRouter requests to external platforms with no additional code.
