帮开发者挑选 AI 模型的初创公司估值逼近 13 亿美元 OpenRouter CEO Alex Atallah 随着越来越多的 AI 应用和智能体开始采用多款 AI 模型,帮助开发者选择合适模型的初创公司正受到市场追捧。 据两名直接了解此次融资事宜的人士透露,最新案例便是 OpenRouter。该公司可帮助 AI 应用开发者通过单一应用程序编程接口调用数百种 AI 模型,目前正洽谈新一轮融资,拟募资 1.2 亿美元,由字母表公司(Alphabet)旗下某风投部门领投,投后估值将达到 13 亿美元。 这家 2023 年成立的初创公司提供 API 服务,开发者可借此调用来自 OpenAI、Anthropic、 谷歌 等企业的 300 余种闭源及开源 AI 模型。随着开发者利用其服务对比不同竞品模型的效果、价格与速度,从而确定为自身应用提供支持、或在应用内处理不同任务的模型,OpenRouter 的业务收入实现快速增长。 微软 在周二便展现了这种多模型趋势。该公司为 Office 365 应用的 Copilot AI 助手推出新功能,允许用户调用 OpenAI 模型整理研究资料,再用 Anthropic 模型进行复核;另有一项功能可直接对比不同 AI 厂商的输出结果。 OpenRouter 的盈利模式是在开发者购买算力积分运行 AI 模型时收取小额服务费。其中一位人士称,该公司目前年化营收已超 5000 万美元,而 2025 年 10 月入选《The Information》最具潜力初创企业榜单时,其年化营收仅超 1000 万美元。(年化营收为上月营收乘以 12 得出。) 在当前火热的 AI 融资市场中,这家公司 24 倍的预期市销率估值倍数相对偏低。据《The Information》2025 年 12 月报道,AI 应用类企业的平均预期市销率约为 53 倍。 OpenRouter 面临着来自大型云服务商的竞争,这些服务商同样提供多款 AI 模型,却往往主推自研产品。在初创公司中,PortKey 以及以帮助企业搭建网站和 AI 应用闻名的 Vercel,也提供与 OpenRouter 类似的模型调度服务。另一个潜在竞争对手是 LMArena,该平台与 OpenRouter 一样,会发布基于性能的 AI 模型排行榜。(据《The Information》报道,LMAre...

The Iran war has clouded the outlook for inflation and economic growth across the globe and, in turn, where interest rates might be heading. The uncertainty is stirring volatility in interest-rate swap markets, where traders wager on what central banks will do next. Rate bets in the US and Europe have been swinging wildly, changing by the minute as the conflict in the Middle East continues. A lot of attention is paid to swap markets as a gauge of rate expectations. When investors shifted their view from two quarter-point rate cuts from the Bank of England this year to as many as four such hikes, this was gleaned from swap market pricing. However, there’s more nuance to swap market activity as traders aren’t just placing purely directional bets; some are also hedging against swings in borrowing costs. Fluctuations in swap markets have a broader significance as well. The movements ripple across asset classes, including stocks and bonds, and can also affect mortgages and government budgets. What are interest-rate swap markets? Traders are constantly trying to predict the path of central bank interest rates. One of the main ways to track those expectations is through interest-rate swaps that are tied to risk-free overnight borrowing rates — benchmarks that represent the cost of borrowing cash between banks overnight and move in line with central bank policy rates. These swaps are linked to central bank decision dates and entail an exchange of interest payment streams between two parties over a set period. If an investor agrees to pay a fixed rate while receiving a floating one that moves with daily borrowing rates, they’re betting on a central bank rate increase. If they choose to receive a fixed rate while paying a floating one, they’re betting on a central bank rate cut. As traders take these positions, the fixed rate adjusts until supply and demand balance — in other words, buyers and sellers agree that this is where central bank rates will be over a specific period....

在 Windows PC 阵营里,触摸屏早已不是新鲜事,但苹果却始终坚持“不做”。哪怕 iPad、iPhone 早已把触控体验做到极致,MacBook 依旧停留在“键盘 + 触控板”的交互范式。 2010 年,乔布斯曾在 MacBook Pro 发布会上指出,在笔记本电脑上装触摸屏“不符合人体工学”,“绝对行不通”;2012 年,刚继任苹果 CEO 的库克也嘲笑过微软 Surface 就像是“把烤...
