building @OpenRouterAI
Huge day for us :) Thanks to everyone who's been supporting us along the way! we're just getting started
Excited to announce a $40M raise for @OpenRouterAI (seed + A), led by a16z & Menlo! LLM inference will be the biggest software market in the world. We've become the #1 control plane. Here's what's next:
i am pretty sure these coming soon posts do better than live now posts lmao

Coming soon to OpenRouter
>>> Qwen3-Coder is here! ✅ We’re releasing Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct, our most powerful open agentic code model to date. This 480B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model (35B active) natively supports 256K context and scales to 1M context with extrapolation. It achieves…
model authors, inference pricing is already confusing for people, please please please stop getting fancy with it
every time the timeline goes “it feels like we’re slowing down” the next breakthrough happens
plz can we have @OpenRouterAI be default in everything rofl
Qwen has passed Moonshot and xAI in token marketshare 👀
🟣New: Qwen3-Coder by @Alibaba_Qwen - 480B params (35B active) - Native 256K context length, extrapolates to 1M - Outperforms Kimi, o3, DeepSeek, and more on SWE-Bench Verified (69.6%) 👀 Now live, starting at $1/M tokens 👇

all our boosts (like contact us) now use tool calling to bring up the boost ui! before, boosts initiated by clicking a "contact us" button, not invoking by llm at all now the llm also can invoke this directly! not insignificant upgrade thank u @OpenRouterAI for the api
Best price, best performance, or best uptime? For new models like Kimi, you don’t have to sacrifice - you can get them all 1/ Best price:
Make sure you're getting the best price for Kimi! The market price for Kimi K2 on OpenRouter is now about 30% lower than the shelf price
We will look at the IMO result as an inflection point in the AI race. Cannot be overstated how big this milestone is.
