🚀 OmniRoute — The Free AI Gateway
💰 ~1.53B Free Tokens / Month
Stacking free tiers by hand is painful — dozens of SDKs, dozens of rate limits, and no idea how much you actually have. OmniRoute aggregates the documented free tiers of 43 provider pools / 516 models into one honest number and shows it live on the dashboard (
/dashboard/free-tiers).
Animated summary of the live
/dashboard/free-tierspage. Full methodology (pool dedupe, credit tiers, provider terms): docs/reference/FREE_TIERS.md.These figures are re-audited every two weeks against the live catalog and move both ways — a provider ends a free tier and the number drops; a new one lands and it climbs. We publish what the catalog actually computes, never a rounded-up best case.
⭐ Star the repo if OMNIROUTE helped you save money and make your work easier.

# Fresh install, zero credentials — `auto` already works:
curl http://localhost:20128/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"auto","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello!"}]}'Prefer a specific free backend? Call it directly, e.g. oc/… (OpenCode Free) or felo/… (Felo). Then graduate to auto and let OmniRoute pick.

Thanks to Kimi (Moonshot AI), our founding Open Source Friend, for backing this project! Kimi is the AI lab behind the open-weight K2 and K3 model families — Kimi K3 delivers a 1M-token context window, native vision and frontier-level coding at a fraction of closed-model prices, and works out of the box with Claude Code, Codex and every coding tool OmniRoute serves.
What Kimi's support powers: Kimi's API credits power OmniRoute's AI-validated release pipeline — the merge validation powered by Kimi K3 stage that reviews every pull request before it ships — plus day-to-day feature development. First-class Kimi support ships on both rails: the direct Kimi API ( kimi-k3) and the Kimi Code coding plan (OAuth and API key). OmniRoute is also the first Brazilian open-source project in Kimi's support program. Get a Kimi API key →

🎯 Combos — The Flagship
A combo is a chain of models OmniRoute routes across automatically. Quota runs out, a provider fails, or costs spike — the combo silently slides to the next model. This is what makes OmniRoute unbreakable. 🛡️
⚡ Zero-config — just use auto
No combo to create. Set your model to auto (or a variant) and OmniRoute builds a virtual combo from your connected providers, scored live:
| Model ID | What it optimizes for |
|---|---|
auto | 🎯 Balanced default (LKGP — sticks to your last good provider) |
auto/coding | 🧑💻 Quality-first weights for code generation |
auto/fast | ⚡ Lowest latency first |
auto/cheap | 💰 Cheapest per token first |
auto/offline | 🔋 Most quota / rate-limit headroom first |
auto/smart | 🔭 Quality-first + 10% exploration to discover better models |
🔀 Or build your own — 19 routing strategies
All 19 strategies — mix & match per combo step:
| # | Strategy | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | priority |
First-target ordered list — drain each before the next 🥇 |
| 2 | fill-first |
Fill each target's quota fully before moving on |
| 3 | weighted |
Weighted random by per-target weight |
| 4 | round-robin |
Cycle through targets in order |
| 5 | p2c |
Power-of-two-choices random load balancing |
| 6 | least-used |
Pick the target with the lowest current load |
| 7 | random |
Uniform random pick (deduplicated) |
| 8 | strict-random |
Random without de-duplicating repeats 🎲 |
| 9 | cost-optimized |
Minimize $ per request from live catalog pricing 💸 |
| 10 | headroom |
Pick the target with the most remaining quota |
| 11 | reset-window |
Prefer the target whose quota window resets soonest |
| 12 | reset-aware |
Rank by quota reset time — short windows first 📊 |
| 13 | context-relay |
Hand off context across targets for long conversations 🧠 |
| 14 | context-optimized |
Pick the best fit for the current context size |
| 15 | cache-optimized |
Pin each reusable prompt prefix to the same account — maximize prompt-cache hits 🎯 |
| 16 | lkgp |
Last-Known-Good Path — sticky to the last successful target |
| 17 | auto |
12-factor live scoring across every connection 🤖 |
| 18 | fusion |
Fan out to a panel of models + a judge synthesizes one answer 🧬 |
| 19 | pipeline |
Chain steps — each target's output feeds the next one 🔗 |
The Auto-Combo engine scores every candidate on 12 factors (health, quota, cost, latency, success rate, freshness…) — see docs/routing/AUTO-COMBO.md.

CHANGELOG.md.
- 🗜️ Compression hardening — default-on inflation guard, Caveman packs for DE / FR / JA + Chinese (wényán), RTK filters for Gradle & .NET. → Compression
- 💸 Honest flat-rate cost — subscription / coding-plan providers read $0 in cost analytics; budget, quota & routing keep estimating. → API Reference
- ⚖️ Quota-Share routing — split a shared account's quota fairly across pooled keys, work-conserving so idle slices are lent out. → Resilience Guide
- 🤖 One-command CLI/agent setup —
setup-*configures 12+ coding tools;omniroute launch/launch-codexare zero-config. → CLI Integrations - 🛰️ Remote mode — drive a remote OmniRoute with scoped tokens (
connect/contexts/tokens) + anantigravityOAuth helper for VPS installs. → Remote Mode - 🧭 Smarter auto-routing —
auto/<category>:<tier>combos, Fusion (model panel + judge), task-aware routing, per-request model / mode / USD-budget overrides. → Auto-Combo - 🗜️ Pluggable compression — 12 composable engines + Compression Studios: LLMLingua-2, two-tier Ultra, omniglyph, per-step fidelity gate, GCF v3.2, drag-reorder editor. → Compression
- 🕵️ Transparent MITM decrypt (TPROXY) — capture CLIs that ignore proxy env vars, with a per-SNI CA + trust-store installer. → MITM/TPROXY
- 💸 Cost telemetry everywhere —
X-OmniRoute-*cost/usage headers on every endpoint, cache-HIT savings header, per-key USD spend quotas. → API Reference - 🧠 Memory you control — off by default, opt-in int8 vector quantization + typed decay, per-request
x-omniroute-no-memory. → Memory - 🛡️ Security — prompt-injection guard on every LLM route (red-team suite) + free DuckDuckGo last-resort web search. → Guardrails
- 🖼️ New endpoints —
/v1/ocr(Mistral OCR) and/v1/audio/translations(Whisper-style) round out the media surface. → API Reference - 🎨 Image / video / audio generation — one API for media: xAI Grok Imagine & Novita AI video, ComfyUI, Freepik, Adobe Firefly, Microsoft Designer, Google Imagen, Segmind, EdgeTTS. → API Reference
- 🌍 Deployment & ops — reverse-proxy
basePath, browser-language auto-detect, per-key device tracking, root-less MITM trust, zh-TW localization. → Environment - 🤝 More providers & agents — Cursor Cloud Agent, Grok Build (xAI), Ollama first-class card, Claude Sonnet 5, Zed, Requesty, SenseNova, Yuanbao, Agnes AI… and a refreshed 290-provider catalog. → Providers
- ⚡ Local performance & infra — one-click local Redis, Cloudflare Workers / Deno Deploy relay deployers, Bifrost & Mux as supervised embedded services. → Embedded Services
