LLMCap

Hard dollar caps on LLM API calls. When you hit ...,it stops

LLMCap launched on May 20, 2026 with 1 votes.

What it does

A reverse proxy that enforces hard dollar caps on LLM API calls. Change one line (base_url), set a cap — when you hit it, the next request returns 429 before the token reaches the provider. Money never spent. → Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral, Cohere → <35ms added latency → Live spend dashboard, audit logs Starter $19/mo · Pro $49/mo · 3-day trial.

Stop surprise AI bills. LLMCap intercepts your LLM API calls and blocks requests the moment you hit your spending limit. Point your existing client at LLMCap and keep the rest of your code.

When you hit $50 , it stops. Not an alert — it stops . Point your existing client at LLMCap and keep the rest of your code. The live demo uses sample data — no account, API key, or provider credentials required. # Before client = Anthropic ( api_key = os . environ [ "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" ]) # After — same client, one URL and one header client = Anthropic ( api_key = os . environ [ "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" ], base_url = "https://proxy.llmcap.io/anthropic" , default_headers = { "X-LLMCap-Key" : os . environ [ "LLMCAP_KEY" ] } , ) # When you hit $50 → 429. No generation starts. LLMCAP_KEY is your LLMCap proxy key — you create it in the dashboard under Proxy Keys, it starts with tg_live_ , and it…from llmcap.io

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok&#x2F;s prefill and 1200 tok&#x2F;s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
