"Having established themselves as the performant, neutral layer for model routing, OpenRouter now has a pretty great road map ahead of them. Tools like Ori Eval let OpenRouter figure out for you, based on progressively smarter understanding of your prompts and your business needs, how to dynamically route you the best possible models and providers, on a second-to-second basis. And as the AI economy scales outward, and the token flow expands from 'models to apps' and into a network of companies exchanging value through value-added tokens, OpenRouter becomes a genuine network of businesses exchanging intelligence, just as Stripe has become the preferred network of businesses exchanging dollars."
