- Nvidia considered a last-minute bid for OpenRouter in July, telling the startup's leadership it was prepared to make a generous offer, but OpenRouter didn't want to wait.
- OpenRouter, a three-year-old startup, was already facing a separate looming takeover when Nvidia entered the picture late, according to people familiar with the talks.
Why it matters: Nvidia's rebuffed approach shows it's actively scouting AI-adjacent startups for M&A, while OpenRouter's refusal to wait signals the competing deal was further along or offered faster certainty than Nvidia's pitch.
