What it does

Unified AI API gateway for multiple LLM providers with streaming, custom configs, built-in packages, routing, rate limits, failover, and analytics.

Build customer support, CRM assistants, document processing, and more without building AI infrastructure. Connect once to every major AI model while your backend controls what AI sees and does. Start from a proven workflow instead of building everything from scratch. Resolve tickets and answer customers with AI that understands your product. Qualify leads, update records, and draft follow-ups automatically. Extract, classify, and summarize documents with structured outputs. Test workflows with sample responses before paying AI providers. { "title" : "Percy Jackson & the Olympians" , "author" : "Rick Riordan" , "genre" : "Fantasy" } Connect once, use any AI One integration works with OpenAI,…from modelriver.com

    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…

    Many teams connecting LLMs to external tools eventually encounter the same architectural issue: as more tools and agents are added, the integration pattern becomes an N×M mesh of direct connections. Each agent implements its own auth, retries, rate limiting, and logging; each tool needs credentials distributed to multiple places and observability becomes fragmented. We built LLM gateway with this goal to provide a single place to manage authentication, authorization, routing, and observability for MCP servers, with a path toward a more general agent-gateway architecture in the future. The…

  • OpenRouter Model FusionApr 2026 · openrouter.ai · ▲144

    Hey HN, We've been building a multi-model API for LLMs called OpenRouter since we launched the Window AI extension in April this year [0]. The events of the last week make it clear the LLM landscape is unpredictable, so LLM aggregators are picking up interest. Unlike others, we're making a router on top of a public, explorable dataset. We recently built a way to rank and visualize this data, including the token counts we see going to and from different models, both open-sourced (like Llama, Mistral, finetunes, and variants) and closed-sourced (OpenAI, Anthropic). The API supports - 50+…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
