## Summary

OpenRouter has updated Guardrails, the controls admins use to set AI budgets, model access, and content moderation across a company. Teams of 10+ people on OpenRouter grew 70x in a year, and keys per org tripled. Admins can now set org-wide restrictions, give specific people larger budgets or more models within those limits, and change each policy independently.

## Post

In a year, AI on OpenRouter went from a few people per company to entire departments. People using it on teams of 10+ grew 70x, and keys per org tripled.

That's a lot more to manage. So we've updated Guardrails, the controls admins use to set AI budgets, model access, and content moderation across their company.

Now you can set restrictions for the whole org, give specific people bigger budgets or more models within those limits, and change each policy without touching the others.
