FreeGate

Free multi-provider LLM proxy with automatic failover

FreeGate launched on August 26, 2026 with 1 votes, #11,494 of 23,274 launches that month.

What it does

Free open-source (MIT) LLM proxy that rotates 13+ free model providers (Groq, Mistral, Gemini, NVIDIA NIM, OpenRouter, ZAI) behind a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint. If one provider dies or burns its daily limit, your request automatically falls through to the next. Works with any OpenAI-compatible client — opencode, Cursor, or your own scripts. Dashboard with provider status, RPM graphs and limits, plus disk cache so repeated prompts don't cost twice. Install: npx freegate start.

Free multi-provider LLM proxy with automatic failover. One OpenAI-compatible endpoint = 18 free models (Groq, Mistral, Gemini, NIM, OpenRouter, ZAI). If a provider fails or hits its limit, requests instantly fall through to the next. Never pay for LLMs. - Artur21101965/freegate

    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!

    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…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
