[ ABOUT OPENROUTER ]
About OpenRouter
OpenRouter provides OpenRouter API, Provider routing, and Model access aggregation. OpenRouter sits between applications and multiple upstream model providers, so status visibility is critical when teams depend on it as a unified model access layer.
This page checks OpenRouter's official status page for current service health and any active issues. OpenRouter does not publish historical incident data publicly, so this page focuses on live status.

What can I do if OpenRouter goes down?
