OpenAI-compatible proxy with intent-based routing

  1. 1AL

    We built any-llm because we needed a lightweight router for LLM providers with minimal overhead. Switching between models is just a string change : update "openai/gpt-4" to "anthropic/claude-3" and you're done. It uses official provider SDKs when available, which helps since providers handle their own compatibility updates. No proxy or gateway service needed either, so getting started is pretty straightforward - just pip install and import. Currently supports 20+ providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and AWS Bedrock. Would love to hear what you think!

    Hi, I’m Jakub, a solo founder based in Warsaw. I’ve been building GoModel since December with a couple of contributors. It's an open-source AI gateway that sits between your app and model providers like OpenAI, Anthropic or others. I built it for my startup to solve a few problems: - track AI usage and cost per client or team - switch models without changing app code - debug request flows more easily - reduce AI spendings with exact and semantic caching How is it different? - ~17MB docker image - LiteLLM's image is more than 44x bigger ("docker.litellm.ai/berriai/litellm:latest" ~…

    LLM Router for A.I Agent & Saas with x402

    Jan 2026

  19. 19SA

    Hi HN, We’re building https://www.switchpoint.dev – a drop-in replacement for OpenAI’s API that reduces LLM cost by smartly routing across models (e.g., Claude, Gemini, GPT-4) depending on subject and difficulty of the task. Why we built this: LLM costs are spiraling—especially for products doing retrieval, agentic reasoning, or even just high-volume chat. We were frustrated with paying GPT-4 rates when most queries didn’t need it. So we built a router that: - Starts with cheaper/free models (like Llama 8B, 4o-mini, 2.0 flash) - Streams responses and upgrades on failure - Acts…
