OpenRouter, a company that provides infrastructure for artificial intelligence applications, has raised $113 million in Series B funding. The round was led by CapitalG, Alphabet's independent growth fund, with participation from several other prominent venture capital firms and technology companies. This investment brings the total amount of funding OpenRouter has received to over $200 million.
OpenRouter has seen significant growth in recent months, processing 5 trillion tokens per week in June but now handling 25 trillion tokens weekly. The company is on track to process over a quadrillion tokens this year and serve 8 million developers working with more than 400 different models. This growth reflects the increasing demand for reliable infrastructure that can handle the complexity of AI applications.
The investor group backing OpenRouter includes several major technology companies, including NVIDIA, ServiceNow, MongoDB, Snowflake, Databricks, and AMP PBC. These companies are not just financial backers but also strategic partners that recognize the importance of a routing and gateway layer for production AI systems. The funding will be used to continue scaling OpenRouter's infrastructure, deepen its capabilities for enterprise customers, and invest in intelligent routing technologies.
OpenRouter has expanded its capabilities over the past year to include support for multiple types of models, including images, audio, speech, transcription, embeddings, and video. It also offers features such as workspaces, spend management, guardrails, and zero-data-retention policies for organizations deploying AI at scale. With this funding, OpenRouter aims to continue scaling its infrastructure and meeting the growing demand for reliable AI applications.
