OpenAI now requires approval for model routers and AI gateways

OpenAI has updated its usage policies to require approval for model routers and AI gateways, tightening oversight of intermediary platforms that route requests to its models. The change emphasizes security and accountability, and could reshape how AI access is brokered through third-party services. Traders in AI-adjacent crypto tokens should watch for downstream effects on platforms that depend on OpenAI access, though no specific assets are named.
