Parafin is officially joining Stripe.

We’ll work together to expand revenue opportunities for platforms and help small businesses grow.

[Parafin @ParafinHQ]

Today, Parafin officially joins @stripe!

We started Parafin in 2020 to help small businesses get financing that traditional lenders often overlook. As part of Stripe, we can bring embedded financing to more platforms and the small businesses that use them.

Thank you to our partners, the small businesses we serve, and our incredible team for helping us reach this milestone.

OpenRouter is now part of Stripe.

Model spend is a larger percentage of our collective investment every month; @OpenRouter compounds the return.

(And on a personal note, there are few developer tools I've loved as much; if you haven't tried it, give it a go!)

Welcome, team. Thrilled to build together. The future is multi-model 💪

[OpenRouter @OpenRouter]

OpenRouter is officially part of @stripe today!

More than 10 million developers and companies use OpenRouter, and as they build with more models across more workloads, they need control over what it costs and where their data goes.

OpenRouter has built that operating infrastructure to help run AI across every model and provider, with access to new models, uptime through outages, and enforced spend and data policies for each team.

Joining Stripe, which has spent years running critical infrastructure for businesses around the world, means we can build it faster and support companies at every scale.

Our commitment to neutrality stays the same. Models and providers compete on quality, reliability, and price. You decide what works for your business.

OpenRouter is officially part of Stripe!

No single lab will build all the intelligence the world needs. We’re building OpenRouter so every developer and business can choose the best of it, wherever it comes from.

Every model stays on equal footing. With Stripe, we can bring that choice to the millions of businesses that run there.

Long term, we aim to connect the rails that move the economy’s money with the rails that move its intelligence, and build the best developer experience for both.

OpenRouter is now part of Stripe.

Stripe is building the economic infrastructure for AI. Together with OpenRouter, we’ll help businesses explore new models and optimize token routing and usage.

“People just didn’t think the model was going to do these things. We had this collective experience of watching people’s hardest research problems from their academic careers—the model was just knocking them down, one after another. Across many different fields, it was incredible to watch.”

“I was tremendously excited and happy. But I also had much more sadness and melancholy—a feeling of something ending—than I was expecting.”

"Everybody eventually is going to have high-speed, low Earth orbit internet connectivity. [Starlink] is going to be a must-have. But we are going to have a few years of being the only airline that has it at scale."

“Free was never the value proposition. Fast is the value proposition, and there's only one option for fast. It's Starlink. That is the only option. You can call the others, fast and free, but it's not."

I always intended Stratechery to have a sponsorship component; it just took me 12 years to get back to it. That I could do so with the company that made the subscription business possible makes me so happy. There is nothing better than endorsing a product you whole-heartedly believe in.
