About OpenRouter
OpenRouter adds a unified image endpoint while its feed fills with gateway-comparison marketing.
OpenRouter remains the credit-funded, multi-provider LLM gateway: one key, one bill, failover across hundreds of models. The one genuine product move in this window is the Unified Image API, which extends that aggregation model from text to images with capability discovery across 30+ models and 8 providers. Everything else crawled here is content marketing, not shipped product.
