llm-cost-guard

What it does

Wrap your Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini client with guard() — it tracks token spend on every request and throws a hard stop before you breach your budget. Unlike billing alerts (delayed, non-blocking), llm-cost-guard sits in your code and kills the request before money is spent. Supports per-user limits, Slack/Discord webhooks, pre-flight cost estimation, Redis storage, and full TypeScript types.

Real-time cost middleware for LLM APIs. Set budgets, get alerts, stop runaway Claude/OpenAI/Gemini spend. - advikhingmire12-oss/llm-cost-guard

  AgentGuard – Auto-kill AI agents before they burn through your budget2025 · github.com · ▲47

  Your AI agent hits an infinite loop and racks up $2000 in API charges overnight. This happens weekly to AI developers. AgentGuard monitors API calls in real-time and automatically kills your process when it hits your budget limit. How it works: Add 2 lines to any AI project: const agentGuard = require('agent-guard'); await agentGuard.init({ limit: 50 }); // $50 budget // Your existing code runs unchanged const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({...}); // AgentGuard tracks costs automatically When your code hits $50 in API costs, AgentGuard stops…

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
