OpenRouter Launches US/EU In-Region Routing for Geofenced LLM Inference
Key Info
OpenRouter announced general availability of US and EU In-Region Routing, letting customers keep LLM inference requests processed entirely within a chosen region — from TLS termination to the upstream provider.
Highlights
- Requests to the US or EU routing endpoints are decrypted and processed inside that region at every step, supporting geofencing for inference.
- Available on Business and Enterprise plans, with enforcement per workspace, team, or API key via Guardrails.
- Covers a large model catalog, including Chinese open-weight models served from US data centers, and supports server tools.
