🚀 OmniRoute — The Free AI Gateway

💰 ~1.62B Tokens / Month Across Third-Party Free Tiers

Bring your own provider accounts. This is an estimated aggregate across separately eligible third-party free tiers, not a token grant from OmniRoute. Sign up, obtain credentials where required, and connect the providers you can use; each provider controls its limits, availability, and terms.

Stacking free tiers by hand is painful — dozens of SDKs, dozens of rate limits, and no idea how much you actually have. OmniRoute catalogs 484 free-tier entries across 34 recurring pool keys and computes the token headline from the 17 pools with a published positive monthly budget plus five per-model Groq caps, deduplicated by shared pool. Quotas that only open after a regional identity check (today: ModelScope) are shown apart, +~6M behind regional identity verification, and never summed into the headline. The result stays visible 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.

🧩 Available

🆓 Install, connect a provider, then route through one endpoint

# After connecting a provider, copy your OmniRoute key from Dashboard → Endpoints:
curl http://localhost:20128/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_OMNIROUTE_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"auto","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello!"}]}'

auto needs an eligible route. A fresh installation can have no eligible keyless targets, and a keyless provider may reject third-party clients. Providers marked tos: avoid, including Kiro, are excluded from automatic routing by default; connecting an account does not override that setting. See the Free Tiers Guide before choosing a provider.

🤔 Why OmniRoute?

🤝 Supported by our Open Source Friends

Want to join as an Open Source Friend? These are the companies that back open source and help keep OmniRoute moving — and we say publicly where every token they give us goes. Reach out: [email protected]

Links tagged aff=omniroute are partner links. They fund the project at no extra cost to you.

This section is for referral/coupon codes only. Sponsored partnerships live in 🤝 Supported by our Open Source Friends above. OmniRoute has no sponsorship or partnership with the providers listed here — these are public coupons anyone can use.

🎯 Combos — The Flagship

A combo is a chain of models OmniRoute routes across automatically. If quota runs out, a provider fails, or costs spike, the combo can move to the next eligible healthy model. 🛡️

⚡ 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 — 20 routing strategies

All 20 strategies — mix & match per combo step:

The Auto-Combo engine scores every candidate on 16 factors (health, quota, cost, latency, task fit, quality, session availability…) — see docs/routing/AUTO-COMBO.md.

📡 OmniRoute Radar

The main free-tier headline remains ~1.62B tokens/month from the documented, pool-deduplicated catalog above. Temporary provider signup credits can separately lift the first month to ~2.22B. Radar is an optional, signed catalog overlay for people who want fresher free-model availability between OmniRoute releases; the community catalog and every existing free feature remain free.

Supporters can receive the live catalog and additional provider opportunities. Its separate, mutable ceiling is approximately 3B tokens/month at most, depending on provider availability. That ceiling is not a guarantee: providers can change quotas, eligibility, models, or regions at any time.

Radar is opt-in and GET-only. The OmniRoute client does not upload prompts, traffic, provider configuration, usage telemetry, or local announcement-dismiss state. Learn about eligibility and the current catalog at radar.omniroute.online/planos.

✨ What's New

Recent highlights from v3.8.20 → v3.8.53. Full history in CHANGELOG.md.

• ⚖️ quota-weighted routing — the 20th combo strategy skips exhausted accounts, then draws among the rest in proportion to leftover quota ÷ in-flight load, keeping existing conversations pinned. → Auto-Combo
• 🧰 Headless mode — omniroute serve --headless (or OMNIROUTE_HEADLESS=1) runs only the /v1/* proxy engine, with the dashboard and dashboard-only subsystems off. → Headless Mode
• 🔎 Model discovery — /v1/models filters by capability, context, kind and text, and POST /v1/models/query returns a short deterministic shortlist with the same per-key visibility. → API Reference
• 🔑 Per-key routing control — pin an API key to one model or combo with forcedModel, and add or remove a key's models and combos atomically (/api/keys/{id}/access). → API Reference · OpenAPI
• 🛡️ Finer PII controls — per-type selection, up to 20 validated custom masking patterns and per-type detection counters; masking itself stays opt-in. → Guardrails
• 🌍 67 languages — dashboard, docs mirrors and CLI, with npm run i18n:add-locale adding a language everywhere in one command. → i18n Guide
• 🎛️ OmniConductor — inbound A2A delegation to your agent fleet, Conductor skills on the Agent Card, and a dashboard panel with Faro push-to-talk voice chat. →

🧩 New: OmniRoute inside VS Code's native Copilot Chat

No new sidebar, no new chat UI — every model OmniRoute serves shows up right in the Copilot Chat model picker you already use. Since VS Code 1.122, provider models work without a GitHub sign-in or a Copilot subscription — agent mode, tool calling and vision, for free.

Install the OmniCopilot extension, point it at your OmniRoute server (defaults to localhost:20128), then open Copilot Chat → model picker → Manage Models… → OmniRoute.

From inside the editor: open the Extensions view, search "OmniRoute", click Install — works the same way on both stores. Source, issues and the publishing runbook live at diegosouzapw/OmniCopilot.

🎩 New: OmniRouteTray — your gateway, living in the menu bar

omniroute serve is happiest when it's always on. OmniRouteTray turns that into a set-and-forget menu-bar app for macOS: it starts the server, keeps it alive across reboots, updates it in place, and puts your live token budget one click away — no terminal window left open, no npm install -g omniroute to babysit.

Built with Tauri v2 (a Rust core the size of a rounding error), it ships its own signed Node 24 runtime and manages an app-owned OmniRoute install, so it never fights your global node/bun. It shares your existing ~/.omniroute/ config and database — so it's the same OmniRoute you already run, just with a hat on. 🎩

🔌 Full CLI + A2A & MCP

Beyond the server, OmniRoute is a full command-line cockpit with 80+ commands, plus open agent protocols so an AI agent can drive it on its own.

⌨️ A real CLI (not just start)

omniroute               # serve gateway + dashboard (port 20128)
omniroute chat          # interactive TUI chat client (slash: /model /combo /skill /memory)
omniroute setup         # guided first-run wizard
omniroute doctor        # diagnose providers, ports, native deps

🛰️ Remote mode — run the CLI here, OmniRoute on a VPS

OmniRoute on a server? Drive it from your laptop with the same CLI. Log in once with a scoped access token; every command then targets the remote.

omniroute connect 192.168.0.15            # password → scoped token, saved as a context
omniroute models                         # ← runs against the REMOTE server
omniroute configure codex                 # ← picks a remote model, writes a local Codex profile
omniroute tokens create --name ci --scope read   # mint narrower tokens for other machines
omniroute contexts use default            # ← switch back to the local server

Tokens are scoped read / write / admin; process-spawning routes stay loopback-only. 📖 Remote Mode

🤝 Connect an agent — and it controls OmniRoute itself

Expose OmniRoute over MCP, A2A, a REST API, webhooks or a remote CLI — any capable agent (or your own code) gets the keys to the whole gateway: routing, providers, combos, cache, compression, memory — autonomously. HTTP endpoints below are served under http://localhost:20128.

# Give Claude Code the full OmniRoute toolset over MCP:

🗜️ Save 15–95% Tokens — Automatically

📖 How it works — pipeline, architecture & savings math

Default stacked combo runs RTK → Caveman. When both act on the same tool/context payload, savings compound:

combined = 1 − (1 − RTK) × (1 − Caveman_input)
average  = 1 − (1 − 0.80) × (1 − 0.46) = 89.2%
range    = 78.4 – 94.6%

Code blocks, URLs, JSON and structured data are always protected by the preservation engine.

Why use many tokens when few tokens do the trick? Every request passes through OmniRoute's compression pipeline transparently — no client changes. It's now a stack of 12 composable engines that run in order and mix & match per routing combo — building on ideas from RTK, Caveman (⭐ 90K+), LLMLingua-2, and Troglodita (PT-BR).

🧱 The 12-engine stack

Engines run in pipeline order; each is independently toggleable and configurable per combo:

Code blocks, URLs and structured data are always preserved byte-perfect. One-click presets combine the engines:

Real example — Standard mode:

Before (69 tokens): "The reason your React component is re-rendering is likely because you're creating a new object reference on each render cycle. When you pass an inline object as a prop, React's shallow comparison sees it as a different object every time, which triggers a re-render. I would recommend using useMemo to memoize the object."

After (19 tokens): "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in useMemo."

Same answer. 72% fewer tokens. Zero accuracy loss. ✅

PT-BR example — Troglodita mode:

Antes (42 tokens): "O problema é que o componente está re-renderizando porque uma nova referência de objeto está sendo criada em cada ciclo de renderização. Eu recomendaria usar useMemo."

Depois (12 tokens): "Re-render: ref nova cada ciclo (objeto inline recriado). Usar useMemo."

Mesma resposta. ~70% menos tokens. Precisão técnica intacta. ✅

🎚️ Beyond the engines — output styles, the adaptive dial & per-request control

The 12 engines above shrink what goes in. Three more layers shape how, when, and what comes out:

• 🪄 Output Styles (output-axis steering) — inject deterministic, cache-safe response-shaping instructions; combinable, each at lite / full / ultra intensity. Adding a style is a one-line registry entry:
  • Terse prose — drop filler / articles / hedging; keep technical substance exact.
  • Less code — "lazy senior dev" YAGNI: smallest working change, no unrequested scaffolding.
  • Ponytail (lazy senior dev) — climb the YAGNI ladder, fix the root cause, smallest working diff.
  • I have ADHD (action-first) — next action leads, steps numbered, one concrete next step, no preamble.
  • Terse CJK (文言) — classical-Chinese ultra-terse style (locale-gated to zh).
• 🎯 Adaptive context-budget (the dial) — instead of one on/off token threshold, escalate the cheapest, most-lossless engines only as far as needed to fit the model's context window. Policy: reserve-output (default, model-aware) · percentage · absolute. Mode: floor (guarantee fit) · replace-autotrigger (your explicit choice wins) · off (legacy threshold).
• 🎛️ Where compression is decided (precedence, high → low) — per-request x-omniroute-compression header › routing-combo override › active named profile › adaptive / auto-trigger › panel default › off. The applied plan echoes back in the X-OmniRoute-Compression: <mode>; source=<source> response header.

Auto-trigger by token threshold, flip on the adaptive dial, pin a named profile, set a one-off per request, or assign a pipeline per routing combo — whichever fits the workload. An opt-in offline eval harness (npm run eval:compression) scores fidelity vs. savings on a pinned corpus before you promote a change.

⚡ Quick Start

1) Install & run

npm install -g omniroute
omniroute

💡 See npm warn ERESOLVE or peer-dep warnings? They're harmless. Using npm 11 or later? npm may block package lifecycle scripts unless they are allowed. OmniRoute's postinstall (node scripts/build/postinstall.mjs) is required to prepare its native runtime files. Allow the packages named in npm's warning when installing globally. For the package set reported by OmniRoute 3.8.53:

npm install -g --allow-scripts=omniroute,keytar,onnxruntime-node,@parcel/watcher,@swc/core,protobufjs,esbuild omniroute

To reuse this allowlist for future global installs, configure it once, then install normally:

npm config set allow-scripts=omniroute,keytar,onnxruntime-node,@parcel/watcher,@swc/core,protobufjs,esbuild --location=user
npm install -g omniroute

The dependency list can change between releases; if npm reports a different list, use the package names from that warning. Allowing a package permits its install scripts to run. Using Gemini Web or another web-cookie provider? The npm package includes Playwright but not its Chromium binary. See the Playwright Chromium setup note before making the first web-provider request.

Dashboard at http://localhost:20128 · API at http://localhost:20128/v1.

2) Connect an eligible provider using your own account

Dashboard → Providers → choose a provider whose current terms and quota fit your use case → add its API key or complete its account flow. Free tiers may require signup, approval, or a payment method. Review the Free Tiers Guide; keyless availability is not guaranteed, and providers marked tos: avoid are excluded from auto by default.

3) Point your coding tool

Base URL: http://localhost:20128/v1
API Key:  [copy from Dashboard → Endpoints]
Model:    auto            (routes among eligible connections — or choose provider/model)

4) Verify it's working

curl http://localhost:20128/v1/models -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"

You should see your connected models listed. 🎉 That's it — start coding, and OmniRoute auto-routes & falls back for you.

If your client cannot send custom headers, OmniRoute also exposes tokenized compatibility aliases:

OpenAI catalog:   http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/
OpenAI models:    http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/models
OpenAI chat:      http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/chat/completions
OpenAI responses: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/responses
Ollama chat:      http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/api/chat
Ollama tags:      http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/api/tags

Use these only for clients that cannot attach Authorization: Bearer .... Header auth remains the preferred mode.

🥟 Bun

Standard bun install and global installation (bun install -g omniroute) are supported via Bun runtime detection:

• Built-in bun:sqlite: OmniRoute uses Bun's built-in bun:sqlite driver when running under Bun, falling back to better-sqlite3 on Node.js or sql.js.
• Automatic Webpack bundler selection in dev: Development (bun run dev) automatically detects Bun and disables Turbopack in favor of Webpack to prevent native V8 binding incompatibilities. Production builds (bun run build) follow OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK exactly as on Node: Turbopack by default, OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0 to build with Webpack (Dockerfile.bun exposes it as a --build-arg).
• Dedicated Bun Dockerfile: Multi-stage Dockerfile.bun for native Bun production deployments (docker build -f Dockerfile.bun -t omniroute:bun .).

# Install and run with Bun
bun install
bun run dev

🦭 Podman

# 1. Prepare the bind-mounted data directory
mkdir -p data

# 2. Linux + local rootless Podman only (never a remote Podman Machine client):
podman unshare chown 1000:1000 ./data

# 3. Set the runtime hint, build the local Compose image, and start
echo "CONTAINER_HOST=podman" >> .env
podman compose --profile base up -d --build

On macOS or Windows, Podman uses a remote Podman Machine: skip podman unshare and follow the topology-specific data directory guidance.

📖 Podman Guide — Compose builds, Podman Machine, and Linux/systemd Quadlet setup.

⚡ Faster / leaner install (skip the native build)

The native SQLite engine (better-sqlite3) is an optional dependency, so a global install never blocks on compiling from source: it uses a prebuilt binary when one matches your platform/Node, and otherwise falls back transparently to a pure-JS engine (node:sqlite on Node 22+, else the bundled sql.js WASM) — no build tools required.

To skip the post-install native warm-up entirely (CI, headless, or slow machines). Note: this only skips the native SQLite warm-up step (scripts/postinstall.mjs); the binary-copy/repair hook (scripts/build/postinstall.mjs) still runs normally:

OMNIROUTE_SKIP_POSTINSTALL=1 npm install -g omniroute   # CI=1 also skips it

For the fastest installs prefer pnpm (content-addressed store + hard links — see above). For a dashboard-free, headless runtime use the Docker base profile (above) or the Termux guide. The CLI and the web dashboard are served by the same process on one port, so there is no separate CLI-only package today.

External contributors by merged pull requests

Census taken 2026-10-18 15:09:09 UTC with live release/v3.8.52 tip 656f01cb43. The paginated GitHub GraphQL census contains 9,191 merged PRs: 3,834 by the repository owner, 229 by Dependabot, 6 by other bots/apps, and 5,122 external PRs from 835 distinct contributors. “Changed lines” is GitHub additions + deletions and includes generated files, lockfiles, catalogs, translations and documentation; it is churn, not authored LOC. 49 PRs report GitHub diffs above 500,000 lines (for example #13399, a single provider addition, lists 2,347 changed files), which inflates several totals above. Ties are ranked together.

GitHub-attributed commits

Rechecked at 2026-10-18 14:44:45 UTC: GitHub-attributed commits reported by the repository Contributors API for the release/v3.8.52 default branch.

Public GitHub Sponsors revalidated on 2026-10-18 through the GitHub Sponsors GraphQL API: 11 public sponsorships (6 active, 5 past) out of 14 in total. GitHub's isActive status determines the active labels above; past public one-time supporters remain thanked, and private sponsors remain anonymous. Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee, Liberapay, PIX and crypto donations are not listed because they have no public sponsor record.

👥 900+ Contributors

Audited on 2026-10-18 at live release/v3.8.52 tip ad160ab2d1 (6,826 commits): 993 normalized human Git identities — 707 appear as commit authors (including the maintainer) and 286 only in explicit Co-authored-by trailers. The census applies .mailmap, compares e-mail addresses case-insensitively, joins numeric and plain GitHub noreply addresses only when they encode the same handle, excludes 26 bot/agent/service/placeholder identities, and does not merge ordinary e-mail addresses merely because their display names match. The 2026-08-24 audit published 639; this method re-run on that audit's base ac02c5b42f gives 619, so the increase comes from new contributors, not from a looser method.

🙏 Acknowledgments

OmniRoute stands on the shoulders of giants. It started as a fork of 9router and a TypeScript port of the Go project CLIProxyAPI — and from there, every subsystem below was inspired by an open-source project that got there first. Each one shaped a concrete piece of OmniRoute. This is our thank-you to all of them. 🙏
