Forget the singularity hype—Stripe’s acquisition of Open Router is pure, cold-blooded engineering. This isn’t about sci-fi moonshots; it’s about mastering AI orchestration.

They aren’t chasing intelligence; they are securing the infrastructure that makes AI predictable, scalable, and ready for the global economy.
