OmniRoute is an open-source, MIT-licensed AI gateway: a self-hosted proxy that gives you one OpenAI-compatible endpoint routing to 231+ model providers — Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, and 50+ free tiers. It just crossed 10,000 stars, gaining 1,010 in a single day.
The problem is real: nobody wants to write a separate integration for every provider, or get locked into one vendor. OpenRouter answered that as a hosted service. OmniRoute is the self-hosted answer — your keys stay on your machine, no cloud middleman.
The API: one localhost endpoint for everything
Point any tool — Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Copilot — at http://localhost:20128/v1 and it auto-translates between OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini API formats. It ships 17 routing strategies with 4-tier fallback (subscription → API → cheap → free), plus a built-in MCP server. Typical play: stack the free tiers into roughly 1.6 billion free tokens a month and stop hitting rate limits.
Token compression is the actual moat
The differentiator is stacked compression (RTK + Caveman) claiming 15–95% token savings by condensing prose and filtering tool outputs while protecting code blocks. In the multi-model era, the routing layer is becoming infrastructure — and cutting the bill at that layer is a sharper wedge than routing alone.
