Impact Summary

Low Neutral for users
Affected users
All users

OpenRouter updated their Terms of Service header on June 23, 2026, adding a Search function indicator (⌘ K) to the navigation menu. This is a minor interface change in how the document presents itself rather than a substantive modification to the terms themselves. The operational difference is negligible—users now see a search feature available in the header, but no policy, obligation, or right has changed.
