OpenRouter Raises $113M to Become AI’s Most Powerful Routing Layer

OpenRouter has raised $113 million to position itself as the invisible infrastructure powering artificial intelligence, a bet that the future may belong not to the companies building AI models but to those controlling how they're used. The startup's "routing layer" lets developers seamlessly switch between competing AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and others, potentially upending the winner-take-all dynamics that have defined the AI gold rush. If OpenRouter succeeds, it could fundamentally reshape how the $100 billion AI software market consolidates—turning a startup into an indispensable gatekeeper that no major AI company can afford to ignore.
