# OpenRouter

A unified API service that resells access to 400+ LLM models from 70+ providers through a single interface.

**Route:** surfaced by the AI Development and Deployment Infrastructure lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same LLM API access capability to the same AI/agent developers that shortlist the anchor—Vercel’s AI SDK targets the same builder audience with its own model routing and compute layer.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Access all major models through a single, unified interface

> 400+ Models One API for Any Model

> Better prices , better uptime , no subscriptions
