Everything about OpenRouter
American artificial intelligence model routing platform
OpenRouter is an American artificial intelligence routing service provider that operates a platform for accessing and routing requests to large language models and other generative artificial intelligence models. The platform provides a unified application programming interface (API) through which developers can access models from multiple developers and inference providers. OpenRouter claims to have 600 trillion monthly tokens and 10 million monthly active users. One unique feature of the platform is fallback models, allowing users to switch from one LLM to another.
