What it does
One OpenAI-compatible endpoint to reach every major AI model — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, Doubao, Kimi, Sarvam, Krutrim. Native MCP forwarding with per-org allowlist. Curated guardrails library. Flat $15/mo BYOK, zero markup.
The only LLM Gateway that routes chat completions and MCP tool servers through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint. 14 providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Meta, Groq, Qwen, GLM, Doubao, Kimi, Sarvam, Krutrim, AWS Bedrock). Flat $15/mo BYOK. Singapore-hosted.
Route requests across every major AI provider and connect trusted MCP servers through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint. OpenAI-compatible. Point your SDK at api.leanroute.dev/v1 and you're running. { "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-5", "messages": [ { "role": "user", "content": "..." } ], "mcp_servers": [ { "type": "url", "url": "https://mcp.example.com/sse", "name": "calendar" } ] } Add one field. Any model connects to your MCP servers, server-side. ↘ The chat bubble in the corner is built on Leanroute + RAG . Read the writeup → Everything below is shipped and running in production today.

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…
Any-LLM – Lightweight router to access any LLM Provider2025 · github.com · ▲125We 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!

Clipto MCP▲655Hey 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…
