Stripe确认收购OpenRouter后,这笔交易迅速引发关注。外媒称,OpenRouter估值在短短三个月内从13亿美元升至75亿美元,创始人和投资方也将获得大额回报。

收购金额大幅抬升

据《纽约时报》援引消息人士报道,Stripe为这笔交易支付了75亿美元。报道还称,OpenRouter两位创始人合计将获得15亿美元,投资方将分得其余部分。Stripe据称还击败了包括 Databricks 在内的潜在买家。

Stripe看中的是什么

OpenRouter主要帮助开发者在不同 AI 模型之间路由提示词和调用请求。Stripe创始人致投资者的信中提到,双方客户群有重叠,OpenRouter对开发者很有用,也有助于 Stripe 继续扩展面向模型无关的 AI 产品。

AI支出管理成新战场

Stripe方面认为,AI 正在带动更多公司成立,也带动更多企业使用其支付和开发者产品。公司称,Forbes AI 50 中有 88% 正在使用 Stripe 的产品。OpenRouter则表示,交易完成后将继续独立运营,产品和现有承诺不变。

补充信息:PitchBook 分析师 Franco Granda 认为,这笔收购体现出 Stripe 希望进入 AI 时代的资金流中枢。
