    I just want to know how much the domain cost.

    I guess this is the world we live in now. All companies no matter which sector they belong to must buy AI crap.

    A few years ago, companies buying random companies from a completely different sector was frowned upon by stakeholders

      It’s also so strange how they all play the exact same game. Everybody creates pretty much the same products. Every software company will have a chatbot, an agentic harness, a model router, and whatever will be the next trend

    US only, right?

    The fact that they put "every model" repeatedly, then don't actually support even close to "most mainstream models", makes me highly doubtful their service will be more honest and forthcoming once I'm signed up.

      I wouldn't read too much into it, that was probably a big rush job once the Stripe / openrouter news broke.

    they really buried the lede on which models are supported, then the link is broken as of now to the list (https://app.router.com/supported-models)

    It can't be a coincidence that this dropped today, the same day news dropped about the Stripe acquisition of OpenRouter

    Routing requests to the ideal model? that's some big talk right there.

    router.com! Cool domain though that must have been expensive :P

      Indeed, probably not cheap. Ironically, they see themselves as the ones that should help others "stop overpaying for things" and "help companies make better spending decisions":

      > Wait, Ramp bought router.com? We did. It was either this or spend the next year spelling out a longer URL on podcasts. More importantly, we build tools that help companies make better spending decisions and stop overpaying for things.

        Indeed. Also, ramp.com is shorter than router.com, so I don't really understand the "spelling out a longer URL on podcasts". I guess router.com is just clearer for customers?
