About OpenRouter
OpenRouter is stretching its model gateway from text into images and agent tooling.
OpenRouter runs a managed gateway fronting 300+ models under one key and one bill, with routing and failover as the core value. Recent output splits between genuine platform expansion — an MCP server and a unified image endpoint — and a heavy stream of SEO comparison and integration tutorials. The product's identity is still breadth of model access, now reaching beyond chat.
