    LLM Gatewayfree tier▲296

    I built an OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway that routes requests to OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, vLLM, llama-server, SGLang... anything that speaks /v1/chat/completions. Single Go binary, one YAML config file, no infrastructure. It does the things you'd expect from this kind of gateway... semantic routing via a three-layer cascade (keyword heuristics, embedding similarity, LLM classifier) that picks the best model when clients omit the model field, weighted round-robin load balancing across local inference servers with health checks and failover. The part I think is most…

    We are excited to show Promptly (https://trypromptly.com), a prompt management platform for LLM apps that makes it easy to experiment, share and manage prompts in production. With Promptly, users can: - Try out different prompts and model parameters for various providers - Quickly share prompt snippets together with parameters and generated output. Think of it as CodePen or JSFiddle for prompts - Create high level endpoints on top of provider APIs (Open AI, DreamStudio etc) with templated and versioned prompts - Use built-in caching for endpoints that will help save on Open AI…

    Hi HN, we are the founders of Relari (https://www.relari.ai). We launched our LLM evaluation stack on HN a few months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39641105), which is now used in production by AI teams at companies like Vanta and PwC. We have since expanded to directly optimizing parts of an LLM pipeline using a data-driven approach. In particular, we see a lot of potential in the Auto Prompt Optimization—which could be an attractive alternative to fine-tuning in many cases—to use data to align LLMs for domain-specific tasks. Here’s a demo video:…

    Hi, I was a corporate lawyer for many years working with a lot of financial services and insurance companies. In practicing law, I noticed there was a lot of repetition in the tasks I was working on even as a highly paid attorney that could be automated. I wanted to solve the problem of dealing with a lot information and data in a practical way, using AI. This motivated me to start AI Bloks/LLMWare with my husband, who had a deep background in software and is a very early adopter of AI. We have been on this journey with our open source project LLMWare for the past 4 months, producing a…

    I recently built a small open-source tool to benchmark different LLM API endpoints — including OpenAI, Claude, and self-hosted models (like llama.cpp). It runs a configurable number of test requests and reports two key metrics: • First-token latency (ms): How long it takes for the first token to appear • Output speed (tokens/sec): Overall output fluency Demo: https://llmapitest.com/ Code: https://github.com/qjr87/llm-api-test The goal is to provide a simple, visual, and reproducible way to evaluate performance across different LLM providers, including…
