Heya! First off, I love your product. consolidated billing/auth solves a big pain-point, so thank you.

Less about the funding and more about the long game: where do you see OpenRouter in 3-5 years, and which product bets are you most excited about right now? Do you guys think with this new raise you'll branch out into other adjacent verticals?

Our general theory of the case is that, in the not so distant future, inference will be the second largest opex line item for most companies (behind headcount) and that sourcing, measuring, and governing those tokens is a massive horizontal opportunity.

We will inevitably expand into adjacencies because we like building things and experimenting and we have a lot of people with great taste who are likely to ship cool things that customers want to use!

Edit: also - THANK YOU!
