Jarsy(@JarsyInc):AI model access is becoming an infrastructure layer of its own. WSJ reported that Stripe @stripe is in advanced talks to acquire OpenRouter , an AI model marketplace, in a deal that could value the company at around $10B. The transaction is not final, and talks could still fall apart. OpenRouter gives developers one API to access and compare hundreds of AI models across providers, with routing, fallback and usage tracking built in. It sits between developers, model providers and AI spend — where routing decisions can affect cost, latency and reliability.
