key-carousel - Key rotation for LLM agents

I think in-process key management is the right abstraction for multi-key LLM setups. Not LiteLLM, not a Redis queue, not a custom load balancer. The failure modes are well-understood: a key gets rate-limited, you wait, you try the next one. Billing errors need a longer cooldown than rate limits. This is not a distributed systems problem — it's a state machine that fits in a library. The problem is everyone keeps solving it with infrastructure instead. Spin up LiteLLM, now you have a Python service to maintain. Reach for Redis, now you have a database for a problem that doesn't need one.…

What it does

Key-Pool-Rotation inspired by OpenClaw. Contribute to HalfEmptyDrum/Key-Carousel development by creating an account on GitHub.

Resilient LLM key pool with cooldown rotation and automatic failover. If you run multiple LLM agents or services, you've hit this: one API key gets rate-limited and your whole system stalls. You add a second key, manually swap them, and pray. This library solves that. It manages a pool of API keys across providers, automatically rotates when one fails, applies exponential-backoff cooldowns so you don't hammer a recovering endpoint, and falls back to alternative providers/models when all keys for a provider are exhausted. Distilled from a production AI gateway running dozens of agents continuously. import { LlmKeyPool } from "llm-failover" ; const pool = new LlmKeyPool ( { profiles : [ { id…from github.com

  • Prompt Engine – Auto pick LLMs based on your prompts2024 · jigsawstack.com · ▲93

    Nowadays, a common AI tech stack has hundreds of different prompts running across different LLMs. Three key problems: - Choices, picking from 100s of LLMs the best LLM for that 1 prompt is gonna be challenging, you're probably not picking the most optimized LLM for a prompt you wrote. - Scaling/Upgrading, similar to choices but you want to keep consistency of your output even when models depreciate or configurations change. - Prompt management is scary, if something works, you'll never want to touch it but you should be able to without fear of everything breaking. So we launched Prompt…

  • LLM-Term – Simple Rust-based CLI assist tool2024 · github.com · ▲32

    Current AI-assisted CLI tools are often part of larger systems and work better on Linux. I built llm-term to address these. It's a Rust-based tool that compiles into a single binary file. You only need to download the binary, add it to your PATH, and configure your OpenAI key to get started. While llm-term offers an option for gpt-4o, it works great with gpt-4o-mini. So it's not costly. I appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

  • Ergonomically call LLM in bulk from CLI2025 · github.com · ▲7

    Hi! I've found myself repeatedly writing little scripts to do bulk calls to LLMs for various tasks. For example, run some analysis on a large list of records. There are a few "gotchas" to doing this. For example, some service providers have rate limits, and some models will not reliably return JSON (if you're asking for it). So, I've written a command for this. What I've tried to do here is let the user break up prompts and configuration as they see fit. For example, you can have a prompt file which includes the API key, rate limit, settings, etc. all together, or break these up into…

    Agent-cache – Multi-tier LLM/tool/session caching for Valkey and RedisApr 2026 · ▲18

    Multi-tier exact-match cache for AI agents backed by Valkey or Redis. LLM responses, tool results, and session state behind one connection. Framework adapters for LangChain, LangGraph, and Vercel AI SDK. OpenTelemetry and Prometheus built in. No modules required - works on vanilla Valkey 7+ and Redis 6.2+. Shipped v0.1.0 yesterday, v0.2.0 today with cluster mode. Streaming support coming next. Existing options locked you into one tier (LangChain = LLM only, LangGraph = state only) or one framework. This solves both. npm:…
