Bifrost is an open-source AI gateway that unifies 23+ LLM providers into a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint with automatic failover, semantic caching, and built-in cost governance, so one provider going down never takes your production AI application with it. Point your existing OpenAI or Anthropic SDK at Bifrost's local endpoint and gain access to OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, Azure, Groq, Mistral, and Ollama without changing application code. Define fallback chains that automatically switch providers when one returns errors or exceeds latency thresholds, keeping response times stable during outages. The built-in web dashboard at port 8080 lets you configure providers, create virtual API keys, monitor live request traffic, and review analytics without editing configuration files. Semantic caching combines exact hash matching with vector similarity search via Weaviate, serving cached responses for identical or paraphrased prompts in sub-millisecond time to cut costs on repetitive workloads. The MCP gateway connects AI agents to external tools like filesystems, databases, and web APIs, exposing them to clients such as Claude Desktop and Cursor with per-key allow-lists. Four-tier budget hierarchy at customer, team, virtual key, and provider levels enforces spend caps, rate limits, and model restrictions across your organization. Extend functionality through custom Go plugins for analytics, monitoring, or security middleware. Native Prometheus metrics and OpenTelemetry distributed tracing give operations teams full production observability.

New API is a Go-powered LLM gateway that funnels over 40 AI providers, from OpenAI and Anthropic to Google Gemini, Azure, AWS Bedrock, DeepSeek, and Mistral, through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint with intelligent routing and enterprise cost controls. Bidirectional format conversion translates between OpenAI Chat Completions, Claude Messages, and Gemini GenerateContent APIs transparently, so clients call any provider using their preferred format while the gateway handles the rest. Routing logic supports weighted random channel selection, priority-based failover, and automatic retry on provider errors to maximize uptime. The React admin dashboard shows usage charts, token consumption tracking, per-model cost breakdowns, and real-time request monitoring. Multi-tenant architecture includes three role levels, token-based authentication, per-user quota management, and a three-phase billing system with tiered pricing via a custom expression language. Multimodal support covers text completion, vision, embeddings, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, image generation, and creative task providers like Midjourney-Proxy and Suno-API. The interface ships in five languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, and French. Docker deployment runs with SQLite or MySQL for persistence. 45,000+ GitHub stars. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Inference Gateway puts a single OpenAI-compatible API endpoint in front of OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Cohere, Ollama, DeepSeek, Google, Mistral, MiniMax, Moonshot, Nvidia, and llama.cpp, so your application code never changes when you switch models or providers. The Go binary starts on port 8080 and normalizes authentication, streaming protocols, and response formats across all backends transparently. Native Model Context Protocol support auto-discovers tools from connected MCP servers and injects them into LLM requests without client-side management, enabling server-side tool execution across any provider that supports function calling. Agent-to-Agent protocol integration allows distributed agent communication through a declarative Agent Definition Language that generates production-ready Go or Rust servers from a single YAML manifest. The dedicated Kubernetes Operator manages Gateway, Agent, MCP, and Orchestrator custom resources with automatic HPA scaling, OIDC authentication, and service discovery that rebuilds MCP configurations when the discovered server set changes. Prometheus metrics and OpenTelemetry tracing provide full request-level observability across the entire inference pipeline. Middleware controls enable per-request provider selection, model routing, and fallback strategies. Official SDKs in Go, Python, TypeScript, and Rust provide typed client interfaces with streaming support. Docker Compose deployment requires only environment variables for API keys.

GPT Load has become the go-to self-hosted AI gateway for teams managing multiple LLM provider credentials behind a single URL. The Go-built proxy transparently preserves native API formats for OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, Anthropic Messages, and Google Gemini — applications swap one base URL and keep their existing SDK integration untouched. Twenty built-in channels cover official APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI), cloud platforms (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI), model services (DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, SiliconFlow, Zhipu AI, Alibaba Cloud, Volcengine, OpenRouter, Groq), and subscription accounts (Codex, Claude, Antigravity, Grok) using the same credential management, scheduling, and health system. The intelligent key pool rotates among valid credentials using atomic counters for fair high-concurrency distribution, automatically blacklists failing keys after configurable thresholds, and recovers them via scheduled health checks — all transparent to clients. Weighted load balancing distributes traffic across multiple upstream endpoints while per-credential proxies route individual keys through different egress paths. The Vue 3 management dashboard provides real-time statistics, group configuration, key testing, request logs with full debugging context, per-model cost estimates, and route inspection. Docker deployment exposes the management interface and proxy on port 3001 with SQLite by default, MySQL or PostgreSQL optional, and Redis for distributed leader-follower cluster scaling.

BitRouter is a context-aware LLM router that learns which model delivers the cheapest successful outcome per workflow step, cutting agent costs by up to 80% while maintaining 96% quality versus all-frontier baselines. Point any agent runtime at http://localhost:4356 with a one-line OPENAI_BASE_URL change and BitRouter routes to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, DeepSeek, Mistral, Moonshot, MiniMax, Nvidia, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint simultaneously, normalizing authentication, streaming, and cross-protocol translation between wire formats. The act-observe-evaluate-learn loop traces every hop with cost, tokens, and latency attribution, scores each decision against a versioned policy-lock.yaml, then tightens routes automatically with no LLM judge in the path. Native MCP gateway auto-discovers tools from connected servers and makes them routable and governed alongside model calls. Agent Client Protocol integration enables the TUI to manage Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Gemini, and Copilot sessions in real time with inline tool-call approval and live streaming. Built-in guardrails inspect, redact, or block risky content before requests leave your network. Virtual keys scope API access per agent or user without exposing upstream credentials. Per-agent spend caps and loop guards contain runaway cost automatically. Multi-account failover reroutes mid-run so rate limits never re-pay completed work. Ships as a single Rust binary via npm or Cargo. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

OmniRoute is an AI gateway, aggregating 338 LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, MiniMax, and GLM into a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint at localhost:20128. The gateway catalogs over 1,200 models across 90 free-tier providers and 40 free-forever providers, automatically rotating through tier-1, tier-2, and tier-3 fallback chains when any provider exhausts its quota or returns errors. RTK plus Caveman stacked token compression reduces eligible context by 15 to 95 percent before forwarding requests, cutting API costs dramatically without degrading output quality. OmniRoute exposes its full routing engine through a built-in MCP server with 104 tools across 31 scopes over stdio, HTTP, and SSE transports, plus an A2A protocol server with six autonomous agent skills and JSON-RPC 2.0 streaming. The gateway integrates directly with Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and Cline through standard base-URL configuration. Seventeen routing strategies include latency-optimized, cost-minimized, and auto-scoring modes that evaluate candidates on success rate, context fit, model fitness, quota state, and circuit-breaker health.

FreeLLMAPI collapses the chaos of 29 free LLM providers — Google AI, Cerebras, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, GitHub Models, Cohere, Cloudflare Workers AI, NVIDIA NIM, HuggingFace, SiliconFlow, Reka, Z.ai, and more — into a single /v1 endpoint that speaks both OpenAI and Anthropic protocols. The smart router selects the best available model for each request, automatically fails over to the next provider when rate limits hit, and tracks per-key token consumption so you never exceed a free-tier cap. Keys are stored with AES-256-GCM encryption and clients authenticate using a single unified bearer token, never exposing upstream provider credentials to downstream applications. The catalog tracks 251 model families across 358 provider/model endpoints with approximately 4 billion tokens per month of aggregate free-tier capacity, auto-refreshing from a signed manifest at freellmapi.co twice daily without requiring git pulls. Beyond chat completions, the proxy handles embedding, image generation, and audio/TTS endpoints, plus structured outputs with JSON schema forwarding, JSON healing, and format-ignore failover. An integrated MCP server at /mcp provides gateway introspection for coding agents, while the self-hosted OpenAPI reference at /v1/docs documents every route. Compatible with OpenAI SDKs, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Continue, Claude Code, and Hermes — just change base_url. Deploy via Docker, npm, or build from source.

CPA Manager Plus is a self-hosted observability dashboard and management panel that tracks every AI request flowing through your CLI Proxy API gateway, breaking down failures, costs, and account health across providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and Codex in one interface. When a request fails, drill into the persistent history to see status codes, affected models, latency, and redacted failure evidence without exposing raw response bodies. The cost analytics engine breaks down token consumption and estimated spend by model, provider, account, API key, project, channel, and time range while tracking input, output, reasoning, cache, and service-tier pricing semantics separately. Model prices sync automatically from models.dev with LiteLLM and OpenRouter fallbacks, and you can add local overrides for aliases or internal models. For teams running Codex or xAI accounts, the health inspector reads quota windows, reset evidence, credential state, and workspace status on a configurable schedule, routing credential failures into an action queue for review rather than letting them silently degrade throughput. Deploy the Lightweight Panel to replace your existing CPA management UI without adding another service, or run Full Mode as a single Docker container that adds the Manager Server with persistent SQLite storage for request history, historical analytics, and automated account inspections. Export or import request history as JSONL for external analysis, and back up the SQLite files alongside your encrypted management keys.

Your AI application is burning through API tokens faster than you can refresh the billing page, and you have no idea which prompt template is responsible. OpenLIT plugs that visibility gap with a self-hosted observability platform built specifically for LLM workloads. Add one line of code to instrument 90+ LLM providers, agent frameworks, and vector databases, then watch every request flow through a tracing dashboard that shows tokens consumed, latency measured, and dollars spent per call, per model, per environment. The requests view lists every LLM interaction with provider, model, cost, and token breakdown in a filterable table, while the trace detail panel lets you drill into individual spans to read the exact prompt sent and response received. Prompt Hub turns prompts into versioned artifacts you deploy, rollback, and A/B test without touching application code. OpenGround compares models side by side on the same input, so you can evaluate cost-versus-quality tradeoffs before committing to a provider. Automated evaluations run LLM-as-a-judge scoring on live production traces, flagging hallucinations, bias, and toxicity in real time. The Vault stores and rotates API keys centrally so secrets stay out of your codebase. Custom dashboards let you build drag-and-drop monitoring views with charts, stat cards, and tables backed by SQL queries against ClickHouse. GPU utilization, memory, temperature, and power metrics feed into the same platform for end-to-end infrastructure visibility.

Backed by Y Combinator and trusted by over 2,300 companies processing billions of observations monthly, Langfuse is the most widely adopted open-source platform for building, monitoring, evaluating, and debugging LLM applications. The hierarchical tracing engine captures every LLM call, tool invocation, retrieval step, and agent action as nested spans based on OpenTelemetry, with automatic cost calculation, latency tracking, and token usage attribution across sessions and users. Prompt Management separates prompts from code with versioned artifacts, label-based deployments, one-click rollbacks, and runtime SDK fetching with server-side caching, while linking every generation back to its exact prompt version for attribution analytics. The evaluation system supports LLM-as-a-judge scoring, heuristic code evaluators, user feedback collection, and manual annotation workflows that run automatically on production traces or against curated datasets. The Playground enables interactive prompt testing on real production inputs with side-by-side model comparison across providers. Datasets and Experiments define test cases for systematic benchmarking with comparative result visualization. Native SDKs for Python and TypeScript provide decorator-based instrumentation, while 100+ integrations cover LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI SDK, LiteLLM, Vercel AI SDK, and any OpenTelemetry-instrumented framework. The analytics dashboard surfaces cost breakdowns, quality scores, latency percentiles, and usage trends across models and prompt versions.
