OpenRouter has launched general availability of US in-region routing for business and enterprise users, ensuring requests sent through its US endpoint are decrypted, processed, and served entirely inside the United States or rejected. The move responds to growing use of open-weight models, especially Chinese models, in US token traffic and gives companies more control over data residency.
