It combines ideas from [RTK - Rust Token Killer](https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk) and [Caveman](https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman) (⭐ 51K+). ### How It Works Every request passes through the compression pipeline **transparently** — no client changes needed: ``` ┌──────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ │ Client sends │────▶│ OmniRoute Compression │────▶│ Provider │ │ full prompt │ │ Pipeline (7 options) │ │ receives │ │ (10,000 tok) │ │ │ │ compressed │ │ │ │ 🪶 Lite ........... ~15% │ │ (~1,080 tok)│ │ │ │ 🪨 Standard ....... ~30% │ │ │ │ │ │ ⚡ Aggressive ..... ~50% │ │ 💰 up to 95%│ │ │ │ 🔥 Ultra .......... ~75% │ │ │ │ │ │ 🧰 RTK ............ 60-90% │ │ │ │ │ │ 🔗 Stacked ........ 78-95% │ │ │ └──────────────────┘ └─────────────────────────────┘ └──────────────┘ ``` ### 7 Compression Options | Mode | Savings | Technique | Best For | | ------------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | | **Off** | 0% | No compression | When you need exact prompts | | **🪶 Lite** | ~15% | Whitespace collapse, dedup system prompts, image URL shortening | Always-on safe default | | **🪨 Standard (Caveman)** | ~30% | 30+ regex rules: filler removal, context condensation, structural compression, multi-turn dedup | Daily coding with Claude/Codex | | **⚡ Aggressive** | ~50% | All standard + progressive message aging + tool result summarization + LLM-based compression | Long sessions with many tool calls | | **🔥 Ultra** | ~75% | All aggressive + heuristic token pruning + stopword removal + score-based filtering | Maximum savings when tokens are scarce | | **🧰 RTK** | 60-90% | 49 command-aware filters, RTK-style JSON DSL, verify gate, trust-gated custom filters | Shell/test/build/git output in agents | | **🔗 Stacked** | 78-95% | RTK first, then Caveman input condensation; ~89% with upstream average math | Mixed prompts with tool logs + prose | ### RTK + Caveman Savings Math These numbers are based on the upstream project READMEs under `_references/_outros`: | Source | Upstream claim used by OmniRoute docs | | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Caveman | `~75%` fewer output tokens; benchmark average `65%` output savings, range `22-87%`; `~46%` input compression tool | | RTK | `60-90%` command-output token savings; sample session `~118,000 -> ~23,900` tokens, which is `79.7%` saved (`~80%`) | For the default stacked compression combo, OmniRoute runs: ```txt RTK -> Caveman ``` When both engines can act on the same tool/context payload, the savings compound: ```txt combined = 1 - (1 - RTK savings) * (1 - Caveman input savings) average = 1 - (1 - 0.80) * (1 - 0.46) = 89.2% range = 1 - (1 - 0.60..0.90) * (1 - 0.46) = 78.4-94.6% ``` Caveman output mode is separate from prompt compression. When enabled for responses, use Caveman's own upstream output numbers: `65%` average, `~75%` headline, `22-87%` observed range. Total bill savings depend on the prompt/output mix, but coding-agent sessions are often tool-context heavy, so the `RTK -> Caveman` combo is the best default for maximum context savings. ### Before & After (Standard/Caveman Mode) **🗣️ Before compression (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 compression (19 tokens):** > "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in useMemo." **Same answer. 72% less tokens. Zero accuracy loss.** ### Architecture ``` Request Body │ ├─ strategySelector.ts ─── Picks mode (config / combo override / auto-trigger) │ ├─ lite.ts ─────────────── Whitespace, dedup, image URLs, redundant content ├─ caveman.ts ──────────── 30+ regex rules via cavemanRules.ts │ └─ preservation.ts ─── Protects code blocks, URLs, JSON from compression ├─ engines/rtk/ ────────── Command detection + JSON DSL filters + raw-output recovery ├─ engines/registry.ts ─── Shared engine registry for caveman, RTK, and stacked ├─ aggressive.ts ───────── Summarizer + tool result compressor + progressive aging │ ├─ summarizer.ts ───── Rule-based message summarization │ ├─ toolResultCompressor.ts ── file/grep/shell/JSON/error compression │ └─ progressiveAging.ts ──── Older messages → shorter summaries └─ ultra.ts ────────────── Heuristic token scoring + pruning └─ ultraHeuristic.ts ─ Stopword detection, score thresholds, force-preserve ``` ### Configuration ``` Dashboard → Context & Cache → Caveman / RTK / Compression Combos ``` Or per-combo override: ```json { "comboOverrides": { "my-coding-combo": "standard", "my-cheap-combo": "ultra" } } ``` Auto-trigger: set `autoTriggerTokens` to automatically enable compression when a request exceeds a token threshold. Compression combos can also assign a named compression pipeline to routing combos, so a coding combo can use RTK + Caveman while a paid subscription combo stays on lite mode. > 🪨 **Fun fact:** The standard/caveman mode is inspired by [Caveman](https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman) — the viral project that reports 65% average output-token savings while keeping technical accuracy. OmniRoute takes this further with a **7-option pipeline** and a default `RTK -> Caveman` combo that can reach ~89% average savings on eligible tool/context payloads. 📖 **Full compression documentation:** [`docs/COMPRESSION_GUIDE.md`](docs/COMPRESSION_GUIDE.md) • [`docs/RTK_COMPRESSION.md`](docs/RTK_COMPRESSION.md) • [`docs/COMPRESSION_ENGINES.md`](docs/COMPRESSION_ENGINES.md) • [`docs/COMPRESSION_RULES_FORMAT.md`](docs/COMPRESSION_RULES_FORMAT.md) • [`docs/COMPRESSION_LANGUAGE_PACKS.md`](docs/COMPRESSION_LANGUAGE_PACKS.md) --- ## 🎯 What OmniRoute Solves > **Every developer using AI tools faces these problems daily.** OmniRoute solves them all. | # | Problem | OmniRoute Solution | | --- | ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 💸 | Subscription quota expires mid-coding | **Smart 4-Tier Fallback** — auto-routes Subscription → API Key → Cheap → Free | | 🔌 | Each provider has a different API format | **Format Translation** — unified endpoint translates OpenAI ↔ Claude ↔ Gemini ↔ Responses | | 🌐 | AI providers block my country/region | **3-Level Proxy** — global, per-provider, and per-key proxy with TLS fingerprint spoofing | | 🆓 | Can't afford AI subscriptions | **11 Free Providers** — Kiro, Qoder, Pollinations, LongCat, Cloudflare AI, NVIDIA NIM... | | 🔒 | Gateway is exposed without protection | **API Key Management** — scoping, rotation, IP filtering, rate limiting, prompt injection guard | | 🛑 | Provider went down, lost coding flow | **Circuit Breakers** — auto-failover with cooldown, retry, anti-thundering herd | | 🔧 | Configuring each CLI tool is tedious | **CLI Tools Dashboard** — one-click setup for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Kilo | | 🔑 | Managing OAuth tokens is hell | **Auto Token Refresh** — OAuth PKCE for 8 providers, multi-account, LAN/remote fix | | 📊 | Don't know how much I'm spending | **Cost Analytics** — per-token tracking, budget limits, usage stats per API key | | 🐛 | Can't diagnose errors in AI calls | **Unified Logs** — 4-tab dashboard (request, proxy, audit, console) + p50/p95/p99 telemetry |

The first enable downloads `cloudflared` only when needed, starts a temporary tunnel to your current `/v1` endpoint, and shows the generated `https://*.trycloudflare.com/v1` URL directly below your normal public URL. Endpoint tunnel panels, including Cloudflare, Tailscale, and ngrok, can be shown or hidden from `Settings → Appearance` without changing active tunnel state. Notes: - Quick Tunnel URLs are temporary and change after every restart. - Quick Tunnels are not auto-restored after an OmniRoute or container restart. Re-enable them from the dashboard when needed. - Managed install currently supports Linux, macOS, and Windows on `x64` / `arm64`. - Managed Quick Tunnels default to HTTP/2 transport to avoid noisy QUIC UDP buffer warnings in constrained container environments. Set `CLOUDFLARED_PROTOCOL=quic` or `auto` if you want a different transport. - Docker images bundle system CA roots and pass them to managed `cloudflared`, which avoids TLS trust failures when the tunnel bootstraps inside the container. - SQLite runs in WAL mode. `docker stop` should be allowed to finish so OmniRoute can checkpoint the latest changes back into `storage.sqlite`. - The bundled Compose files already set a 40s stop grace period. If you run the image directly, keep `--stop-timeout 40` (or similar) so manual stops do not cut off shutdown cleanup. - Set `CLOUDFLARED_BIN=/absolute/path/to/cloudflared` if you want OmniRoute to use an existing binary instead of downloading one. **Using Docker Compose with Caddy (HTTPS Auto-TLS):** OmniRoute can be securely exposed using Caddy's automatic SSL provisioning. Ensure your domain's DNS A record points to your server's IP. ```yaml services: omniroute: image: diegosouzapw/omniroute:latest container_name: omniroute restart: unless-stopped volumes: - omniroute-data:/app/data environment: - PORT=20128 - NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://your-domain.com caddy: image: caddy:latest container_name: caddy restart: unless-stopped ports: - "80:80" - "443:443" command: caddy reverse-proxy --from https://your-domain.com --to http://omniroute:20128 volumes: omniroute-data: ``` | Image | Tag | Size | Description | | ------------------------ | -------- | ------ | --------------------- | | `diegosouzapw/omniroute` | `latest` | ~250MB | Latest stable release | | `diegosouzapw/omniroute` | `3.7.8` | ~250MB | Current version | 📖 **Full Docker documentation:** [`docs/DOCKER_GUIDE.md`](docs/DOCKER_GUIDE.md) — Compose profiles, Caddy HTTPS, Cloudflare tunnels, and more. --- ## 📱 Multi-Platform — Run Anywhere > OmniRoute runs on **Web**, **Desktop (Electron)**, **Android (Termux)**, and as a **Progressive Web App (PWA)**. | Platform | Install | Highlights | | -------------- | -------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 🖥️ **Desktop** | `npm run electron:build` | Native window, system tray, auto-start, offline mode — Windows/macOS/Linux | | 📱 **Android** | `pkg install nodejs-lts && npx -y omniroute` | ARM native, no root, 24/7 via Termux:Boot — your phone is an AI server | | 📲 **PWA** | "Add to Home Screen" in browser | Fullscreen, offline page, service worker caching — Android/iOS/Desktop |

--- ## 🎯 Use Cases — Ready-Made Combo Playbooks ### Case 0: "I want zero-config, auto-routing NOW" **Problem:** Don't want to create combos manually. Just want AI routing to work immediately. ```bash # No combo creation needed! Use auto/ prefix directly: model: "auto" # Default LKGP routing across all connected providers model: "auto/coding" # Quality-first weights for code generation model: "auto/fast" # Low-latency routing (fastest provider first) model: "auto/cheap" # Cost-optimized (cheapest per token) model: "auto/offline" # High availability (most quota available) model: "auto/smart" # Best discovery (10% exploration rate) ``` **How it works:** 1. Add providers in Dashboard → Providers (OAuth or API key) 2. Use `auto/` prefix in any AI tool — **no combo creation needed** 3. OmniRoute dynamically builds a virtual combo from your active connections 4. Routes using LKGP (Last Known Good Provider) + 6-factor scoring 5. Session stickiness ensures consistent provider selection **Dashboard indicator:** A blue banner at the top shows "Auto-Routing Active" with a link to `/dashboard/combos` for configuration. **Monthly cost:** $0 (uses your existing free providers) or whatever your connected providers cost --- ### Case 1: "I have a Claude Pro subscription" **Problem:** Quota expires unused, rate limits during heavy coding sessions. ``` Combo: "maximize-claude" 1. cc/claude-opus-4-7 (use subscription fully) 2. glm/glm-5.1 (cheap backup when quota out — $0.5/1M) 3. kr/claude-sonnet-4.5 (free emergency fallback via Kiro) Compression: standard (caveman) — saves 30% tokens = stretch quota further Monthly cost: $20 (subscription) + ~$3 (backup) = $23 total vs. $20 + hitting limits + lost productivity = frustration ``` ### Case 2: "I want $0 forever" **Problem:** Can't afford subscriptions, need reliable AI for coding. ``` Combo: "free-forever" 1. kr/claude-sonnet-4.5 (Claude 4.5 free unlimited via Kiro) 2. if/kimi-k2-thinking (reasoning model free via Qoder) 3. pol/gpt-5 (GPT-5 free via Pollinations — no key) 4. lc/longcat-flash-lite (50M tokens/day free backup) Compression: aggressive — saves 50% tokens = double your free quota Monthly cost: $0 Quality: Production-ready models + 50% token savings ``` ### Case 3: "I need 24/7 coding, no interruptions" **Problem:** Deadlines, can't afford any downtime. ``` Combo: "always-on" 1. cc/claude-opus-4-7 (best quality — subscription) 2. cx/gpt-5.5 (second subscription — OpenAI) 3. glm/glm-5.1 (cheap, resets daily — $0.5/1M) 4. minimax/MiniMax-M2.5 (cheapest paid — $0.3/1M) 5. kr/claude-sonnet-4.5 (free unlimited — never fails) Compression: lite — saves 15% tokens passively, zero risk Result: 5 layers of fallback = zero downtime Monthly cost: $20-200 (subscriptions) + $5-10 (backup) ``` ### Case 4: "I'm in a blocked region (Russia, China, Iran...)" **Problem:** AI providers block my country, VPNs are slow. ``` Combo: "unblocked-ai" 1. kr/claude-sonnet-4.5 (free via Kiro + proxy) 2. pol/deepseek-r1 (Pollinations — no geo-block) 3. groq/llama-3.3-70b (Groq + proxy) Proxy: Global proxy set in Settings → or per-provider proxy override Result: Access ALL providers from ANY country Monthly cost: $0 (free providers) + $0 (1proxy free marketplace) ``` ### Case 5: "I want maximum token savings" **Problem:** Token costs are eating my budget, need to squeeze every token. ``` Combo: "ultra-saver" 1. cc/claude-opus-4-7 (subscription — best quality) 2. glm/glm-5.1 (cheap backup) Compression: ultra — saves 75% tokens Result: 10K token prompt → 2.5K tokens sent Montly savings: ~$150-300/month in token costs for heavy users ``` ## 🧪 Evaluations (Evals) OmniRoute includes a built-in evaluation framework to test LLM response quality against a golden set. Access it via **Analytics → Evals** in the dashboard. ### Built-in Golden Set The pre-loaded "OmniRoute Golden Set" contains test cases for: - Greetings, math, geography, code generation - JSON format compliance, translation, markdown generation - Safety refusal (harmful content), counting, boolean logic ### Evaluation Strategies | Strategy | Description | Example | | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------- | | `exact` | Output must match exactly | `"4"` | | `contains` | Output must contain substring (case-insensitive) | `"Paris"` | | `regex` | Output must match regex pattern | `"1.*2.*3"` | | `custom` | Custom JS function returns true/false | `(output) => output.length > 10` | --- ## 📖 Setup Guide ### Connect Your Coding Tool Point any OpenAI-compatible tool to OmniRoute: ```txt Base URL: http://localhost:20128/v1 API Key: [from Dashboard → Endpoints] ``` | Tool | Config Location | | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Claude Code** | `claude mcp add-server omniroute --type http --url http://localhost:20128/api/mcp/stream` | | **Codex CLI** | `OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:20128/v1 OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key codex` | | **Cursor** | Settings → Models → Add Model → Override Base URL | | **Cline** | Extension settings → Custom API Base URL | | **OpenClaw** | `OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:20128/v1 openclaw` | | **Gemini CLI** | Uses native OAuth via OmniRoute — connect in Providers | ### Protocols (MCP + A2A) ```bash # MCP (stdio transport) omniroute --mcp # A2A (JSON-RPC 2.0) curl http://localhost:20128/.well-known/agent.json ``` ### Key Environment Variables | Variable | Default | Purpose | | -------------------- | -------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | `PORT` | `20128` | API and dashboard port | | `DASHBOARD_PORT` | — | Separate dashboard port (split-port mode) | | `REQUIRE_API_KEY` | `false` | Require API key for all requests | | `DATA_DIR` | `~/.omniroute` | Database and config storage | | `REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS` | `600000` | Upstream response timeout |

--- ## ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

📊 Why does my dashboard show high costs if I'm using free models?

The dashboard tracks your token usage and displays **estimated costs** as if you were using paid APIs directly. This is **not actual billing** — it's a reference to show how much you're saving. **Example:** - **Dashboard shows:** "$290 total cost" - **Reality:** You're using Kiro + Qoder (FREE unlimited) - **Your actual cost:** **$0.00** - **What $290 means:** Amount you **saved** by using free models instead of paid APIs! The cost display is a "savings tracker" to help you understand your usage patterns and optimization opportunities.

💳 Will I be charged by OmniRoute?

**No.** OmniRoute is free, open-source software that runs on your own computer. It never charges you anything. **You only pay:** - ✅ **Subscription providers** (Claude Code $20/mo, Codex $20-200/mo) → Pay them directly on their websites - ✅ **API key providers** (DeepSeek, xAI, etc.) → Pay them directly, OmniRoute just routes your requests - ❌ **OmniRoute itself** → **Never charges anything, ever** OmniRoute is a local proxy/router. It doesn't have your credit card, can't send invoices, and has no billing system. It's completely free software.

🆓 Are FREE providers really unlimited?

**Yes!** The current FREE providers are genuinely free with **no hidden charges**: - **Kiro AI**: Free unlimited Claude Sonnet/Haiku via AWS Builder ID / Google / GitHub OAuth - **Qoder**: Free unlimited kimi-k2-thinking, qwen3-coder-plus, deepseek-r1 via PAT token - **Pollinations AI**: No API key needed — GPT-5, Claude, DeepSeek, Llama 4 - **LongCat Flash-Lite**: 50M tokens/day — largest free quota available - **Cloudflare Workers AI**: 10K Neurons/day — 50+ models at the edge OmniRoute just routes your requests to them — there's no "catch" or future billing.

💰 How do I minimize my actual AI costs?

**Free-First Strategy:** 1. **Start with 100% free combo:** ``` 1. kr/claude-sonnet-4.5 (Kiro — unlimited free) 2. if/kimi-k2-thinking (Qoder — unlimited free) 3. pol/gpt-5 (Pollinations — no key needed) ``` **Cost: $0/month** 2. **Enable Prompt Compression** — even `lite` mode saves ~15% passively 3. **Add cheap backup** only if you need it: ``` 4. glm/glm-5.1 ($0.5/1M tokens) ``` **Additional cost: Only pay for what you actually use** 4. **Use subscription providers last** — only if you already have them. OmniRoute helps maximize their value through quota tracking. **Result:** Most users can operate at **$0/month** using only free tiers!

🗜️ Will compression affect response quality?

**No.** Compression only affects the **input** (your prompt), not the model's response. Each mode has been designed to preserve technical accuracy: - **Lite** (~15%): Only whitespace/formatting — zero semantic change - **Standard** (~30%): Removes filler words ("please", "I think", "basically") — same meaning - **Aggressive** (~50%): Summarizes old messages + compresses tool outputs — core context preserved - **Ultra** (~75%): Heuristic pruning — use only when token budget is critical Code blocks, URLs, JSON, and structured data are **always protected** from compression via the preservation engine.

🌍 Does OmniRoute work in countries where AI is blocked?

**Yes!** OmniRoute has a 3-level proxy system: 1. **Global proxy** — all requests go through your proxy 2. **Per-provider proxy** — different proxy per provider 3. **Per-API-key proxy** — different proxy per key Plus the **1proxy free marketplace** for community-shared proxies. Users in Russia, China, Iran, and other restricted regions can access all 160+ providers through OmniRoute's proxy infrastructure. See the [Proxy Guide](docs/PROXY_GUIDE.md) for setup instructions.

## 🙏 Acknowledgments Special thanks to **[9router](https://github.com/decolua/9router)** by **[decolua](https://github.com/decolua)** — the original project that inspired this fork. OmniRoute builds upon that incredible foundation with additional features, multi-modal APIs, and a full TypeScript rewrite. Special thanks to **[CLIProxyAPI](https://github.com/router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI)** by **[router-for-me](https://github.com/router-for-me)** — the original Go implementation that inspired this JavaScript port. Special thanks to **[Caveman](https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman)** by **[JuliusBrussee](https://github.com/JuliusBrussee)** (⭐ 51K+) — the viral "why use many token when few token do trick" project whose caveman-speak compression philosophy inspired OmniRoute's standard compression mode and 30+ filler/condensation regex rules. Special thanks to **[RTK - Rust Token Killer](https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk)** by **[RTK AI](https://github.com/rtk-ai)** — the high-performance command-output compression project whose terminal, build, test, git, and tool-output filtering model inspired OmniRoute's RTK engine, JSON filter DSL, raw-output recovery, and stacked RTK → Caveman compression pipeline. --- ## 📄 License MIT License - see [LICENSE](LICENSE) for details. ---
