Diego Rodrigues de Sa e Souza 7c23dab64d Release v3.8.40
v3.8.40 cycle integration → main. All test gates green (Unit/Integration/Coverage/Node-compat/Quality-Ratchet). The only red check, 'PR Test Policy', is the test-masking heuristic firing on the cumulative ~57-commit release diff (legitimate assert consolidations already reviewed per-PR — Gemini CLI removal #5246, retired GPT models #5280, provider catalog refreshes); overridden with --admin per the documented release-PR convention. CodeQL/SonarQube advisory scans non-blocking; #5278's code already passed CodeQL on main. Homologated on VPS 192.168.0.15 (v3.8.40 healthy).

When to choose OmniRoute

  • You self-host and want maximum provider coverage (207+)
  • You need a built-in MCP server (LLM tools, memory, skills exposed as tools)
  • You need A2A protocol for agent-to-agent workflows
  • You want fingerprint stealth (JA3/JA4) to avoid detection by upstream CAPTCHAs
  • You need enterprise features (guardrails, evals, audit trail) without a SaaS bill

When to choose LiteLLM

  • You're Python-first and need tight integration with litellm.completion()
  • You need mature production deployment recipes (k8s, Helm charts)
  • Your team already runs Python microservices

When to choose OpenRouter (SaaS)

  • You don't want to self-host
  • You're fine paying per-token at SaaS markup
  • You need a single payment method across all providers

When to choose Portkey

  • You need a commercial SLA with uptime guarantees
  • You prefer a managed dashboard without ops overhead
  • You need enterprise compliance features out of the box
