About

Unified API and marketplace that routes developer and enterprise traffic across hundreds of large language models with one billing relationship and automatic failover.

Founded in 2023 by Alex Atallah (co-founder/CTO of OpenSea, who left in 2022 to build "zero to one" again) and Louis Vichy. They saw that every AI app team was rebuilding the same plumbing to compare and switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral and open-source models. OpenRouter started as a single API across all of them.
