What it does
One API key for every model: hosted providers, your own keys, your own GPUs. Routing, access control, and attribution for everything your agents call.
The open source AI gateway. Hosted providers, your own keys, and your own GPUs behind one endpoint, at the provider's price. The gateway is free and open source. We earn on hosted inference and on Pro. See pricing The gateway routes. The intelligence layer improves what flows through it. We watch your traffic and tell you when a switch wins, including new models the day they ship. Turnkey per-prompt optimization, if you want it. We catch opportunities to improve cache hit rate, and show what they would save. Repeated tokens come back at 90% off when you turn it on. Fine-tuned on your traffic, proved before it serves, and reached through the same endpoint. You turn it on; it never happens on…from experientiallabs.ai

We built open OpenRouter that turns usage into a better modelAug 2026 · github.com · ▲222Hi HN, we built an open source model gateway. It's a single place to manage our own self hosted, frontier, and open source models in one place. It’s is rust native, built for concurrency, and implements all the config quirks across models and providers (streaming formats, tool calls, model parameters, rate limits, and different error behavior). The gateway adds under 1 ms for BYOK requests and under 2 ms when Experiential supplies the provider key. It has every major inference provider, and 1000+ models refreshed daily via a codex agent that opens a PR. Compared to other similar projects…
