🚀 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-tiers page. 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.

🧩 Available

🆓 Works the second you install it — no keys, no config

# 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.

🎯 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:

🔀 Or build your own — 19 routing strategies

All 19 strategies — mix & match per combo step:

The Auto-Combo engine scores every candidate on 12 factors (health, quota, cost, latency, success rate, freshness…) — see docs/routing/AUTO-COMBO.md.

🧱 Resilience is built in (3 independent layers)

✨ What's New

Recent highlights from v3.8.20 → v3.8.49. Full history in 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-codex are zero-config. → CLI Integrations
• 🛰️ Remote mode — drive a remote OmniRoute with scoped tokens (connect / contexts / tokens) + an antigravity OAuth 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

🤖 Compatible CLIs & Coding Agents

One config — http://localhost:20128/v1 — and every AI IDE or CLI runs on free & low-cost models.

📖 Per-tool setup for all 33 tools (25 CLI Code's + 8 CLI Agents) → docs/reference/CLI-TOOLS.md · 🧩 OpenCode plugin → @omniroute/opencode-provider
