OpenRouter Expands US In-Region Routing, Unlocking Chinese Open-Weight Models for Data-Residency-Sensitive Teams

OpenRouter ·

Key Info

OpenRouter has made US in-region routing generally available, so teams with data residency requirements can now access Chinese open-weight models served from US data centers.

Highlights

  • DeepSeek V4 Pro, Kimi K3, and GLM 5.2 are now served from US data centers via Baseten, Fireworks AI, and Azure.
  • GLM 5.2 is also available in the EU through Mistral AI, expanding regional deployment options.
  • The move pairs with existing EU routing, giving enterprises more control over where requests are processed.
