💰 ~1.9B 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 50+ provider pools / 530 models into one honest number and shows it live on the dashboard (/dashboard/free-tiers).

• ~1.9B free tokens / month (steady) — and up to ~2.5B in your first month with signup credits.
• Pool-deduped, honest — we count each shared free pool once, so the headline isn't inflated by rate-limit ceilings the way multi-billion competitor claims are. (The naïve per-model sum would read ~8B; we don't publish that.)
• Per-model breakdown, live used / remaining for the current month, and a transparent terms flag per provider.

Preview mockup — a real screenshot lands once the /dashboard/free-tiers page is validated. Full methodology (pool dedupe, credit tiers, provider terms): docs/reference/FREE_TIERS.md.

💥 The Promise

One endpoint. 226 providers. Never stop building — and let OmniRoute pick the cheapest one that works.

🚫 Never hit limits Auto-fallback across 226 providers in milliseconds. Quota out? Next provider takes over — zero downtime.	💸 Save up to 95% tokens RTK + Caveman stacked compression cuts 15–95% of eligible tokens (~89% avg on tool-heavy sessions).	🆓 $0 to start 50+ providers with a free tier, 11 free forever (Kiro, Qoder, Pollinations, LongCat…). No card needed.
🔌 Every tool works 16+ coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Copilot, Antigravity — through one config.	🧩 One endpoint OpenAI ↔ Claude ↔ Gemini ↔ Responses API translation. Point any tool at /v1 and it just works.	🛡️ Production-grade Circuit breakers, TLS stealth, MCP (87 tools), A2A, memory, guardrails, evals. 14,965 tests.

🤔 Why OmniRoute?

Stop juggling 10 dashboards, dead API keys, and surprise bills.

🎯 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:

Model ID	What it optimizes for
auto	🎯 Balanced default (LKGP — sticks to your last good provider)
auto/coding	🧑‍💻 Quality-first weights for code generation
auto/fast	⚡ Lowest latency first
auto/cheap	💰 Cheapest per token first
auto/offline	🔋 Most quota / rate-limit headroom first
auto/smart	🔭 Quality-first + 10% exploration to discover better models

🔀 Or build your own — 15 routing strategies

Goal	Strategy / combo
🥇 Drain my subscription before paying	priority / fill-first
⚖️ Spread load across accounts	round-robin · weighted · p2c · least-used
💸 Always cheapest viable model	cost-optimized · auto/cheap
🧠 Hand off long context between models	context-relay · context-optimized
🎲 Randomized / privacy routing	random · strict-random
🤖 Just make it smart	auto (9-factor scoring) · lkgp · reset-aware

_{The Auto-Combo engine scores every candidate on 9 factors (health, quota, cost, latency, success rate, freshness…) — see docs/routing/AUTO-COMBO.md.}

🧱 Resilience is built in (3 independent layers)

Layer	Scope	What it does
🔌 Circuit breaker	whole provider	Stops hammering a provider that's failing upstream; auto-probes to recover
💤 Connection cooldown	one account / key	Skips a rate-limited key while other keys keep serving
🎯 Model lockout	provider + model	Quarantines just one quota-limited model, not the whole connection

Combo: "always-on"                         Strategy: priority
  1. cc/claude-opus-4-7   ← subscription (use it fully)
  2. cx/gpt-5.5           ← second subscription
  3. glm/glm-5.1          ← cheap backup ($0.5/1M)
  4. kr/claude-sonnet-4.5 ← FREE, unlimited (never fails)
Result: 4 layers of fallback = zero downtime

🔒 Private & Local-First

Your keys, your machine, your data. OmniRoute is a local proxy — it never phones home.

• 🏠 Runs 100% on your hardware — npm, Docker, desktop, or your phone. No OmniRoute cloud sits in the request path.
• 🔐 Credentials encrypted at rest — API keys & OAuth tokens sealed with AES-256-GCM.
• 🚫 Zero telemetry by default — your prompts go only to the providers you choose, nowhere else.
• 🛡️ Hardened gateway — API-key scoping, IP filtering, rate limits, prompt-injection guard, loopback-only process routes.
• 📜 MIT licensed & fully open-source — audit every line, self-host forever.

_{📖 Authorization · Guardrails · Compliance}

🔌 Full CLI + A2A & MCP

OmniRoute isn't just a server — it's a full command-line cockpit with 60+ commands, plus open agent protocols so an AI agent can drive OmniRoute by itself.

⌨️ 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

🤝 Connect an agent — and it controls OmniRoute itself

Expose OmniRoute over MCP or A2A and any capable agent gets the keys to the whole gateway — routing, providers, combos, cache, compression, memory — autonomously.

Protocol	Endpoint	Use it for
🧰 MCP (stdio)	omniroute --mcp	Plug into Claude Desktop, Cursor, any MCP client
🌊 MCP (HTTP)	http://localhost:20128/api/mcp/stream	Remote MCP — 87 tools, 30 scopes, full audit trail
📡 MCP (SSE)	http://localhost:20128/api/mcp/sse	Streaming MCP transport
🤝 A2A	http://localhost:20128/.well-known/agent.json	Agent-to-agent, JSON-RPC 2.0 + SSE, 6 skills

# Give Claude Code the full OmniRoute toolset over MCP:

🗜️ Save 15–95% Tokens — Automatically

Why use many token when few token do trick? Every request passes through OmniRoute's compression pipeline transparently — no client changes. It's now a stack of 9 composable engines that run in order and mix & match per routing combo — building on ideas from RTK, Caveman (⭐ 51K+), LLMLingua-2, and Troglodita (PT-BR).

🧱 The 9-engine stack

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

#	Engine	What it does
1	Session-Dedup	Drops content repeated across turns (content-addressed, cross-turn)
2	CCR	Archives large blocks behind retrieve markers, fetched on demand
3	RTK	Smart tool-result filtering, dedup & truncation (command-aware)
4	Headroom	Lossless tabular compaction of homogeneous JSON arrays (~30%+)
5	Caveman	Rule-based prose compression (~65–75% on output)
6	LLMLingua-2	ML semantic pruning via MobileBERT ONNX — code-safe, async
7	Lite	Whitespace + image-URL trimming (latency-light baseline)
8	Aggressive	Summarization + progressive aging of old turns
9	Ultra	Heuristic token pruning with an optional small-model (SLM) tier

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

Mode	Savings	Best for
🪶 Lite	~15%	Always-on safe default
🪨 Standard (Caveman)	~30%	Daily coding
⚡ Aggressive	~50%	Long tool-heavy sessions
🔥 Ultra	~75%	Maximum savings
🧰 RTK	60–90%	Shell/test/build/git output
🔗 Stacked (RTK → Caveman)	78–95%	Mixed prompts + tool logs

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. ✅

📖 How it works — pipeline, architecture & savings math

Client (10,000 tok) ──▶ OmniRoute Compression (9 engines) ──▶ Provider (~1,080 tok, up to 95% saved)

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. Auto-trigger compression by token threshold, or assign a compression pipeline per routing combo.

📖 COMPRESSION_GUIDE.md · RTK_COMPRESSION.md · COMPRESSION_ENGINES.md

⚡ Quick Start

1) Install & run

npm install -g omniroute
omniroute

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

2) Connect a FREE provider (no signup)

Dashboard → Providers → connect Kiro AI (free Claude unlimited) or OpenCode Free (no auth) → done.

3) Point your coding tool

Base URL: http://localhost:20128/v1
API Key:  [copy from Dashboard → Endpoints]
Model:    auto            (zero-config smart routing — or any 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.

🙏 Acknowledgments

Special thanks to 9router by 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 by router-for-me — the original Go implementation that inspired this JavaScript port.

Special thanks to Caveman by 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 by 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.

Special thanks to Troglodita by Lenine Júnior — the PT-BR token compression project ("por que gastar muitos tokens quando poucos resolve?") whose Portuguese-native rules power OmniRoute's pt-BR language pack: pleonasm reduction, filler removal tuned for Brazilian Portuguese grammar, and technical abbreviations for the dev BR community.

Special thanks to headroom by chopratejas — the reversible context-compression project whose SmartCrusher (per-type routing, reversible block compaction, internal hash cache) directly inspired OmniRoute's headroom engine and the ccr retrieve-marker pattern.

Special thanks to TOON by toon-format and GCF — Graph Compact Format by Dayna Blackwell / Blackwell Systems — the compact, schema-aware "JSON for LLMs" notations whose columnar, header-plus-rows model shaped OmniRoute's headroom/SmartCrusher tabular stage: a dependency-free, lossless compaction of homogeneous JSON arrays with an explicit [N rows] marker.

Special thanks to token-optimizer-mcp by ooples — the Brotli/SQLite cache + per-session context-delta project whose content-addressed delta model inspired OmniRoute's session-dedup engine (cross-turn block deduplication with reversible references).

Special thanks to token-savior by Mibayy — the Bash-output compaction + MCP-profiles project whose failure-aware bail-out and tool-profile model inspired OmniRoute's compression bail-out discipline and MCP tool-manifest cardinality reduction.

Special thanks to LLMLingua by Microsoft — the prompt-compression research (LLMLingua / LLMLingua-2) whose token-level semantic pruning inspired OmniRoute's async llmlingua engine (prose-only, code-safe, fail-open), together with the JS/ONNX port llmlingua-2-js by atjsh (MobileBERT / XLM-RoBERTa ONNX models) as its intended worker-thread backend.

Special thanks to ts-morph by David Sherret — the TypeScript Compiler API toolkit whose AST approach inspired OmniRoute's parser-based code-comment removal, which correctly preserves string, template, and regex literals where naïve regex stripping corrupts them.

Special thanks to React Flow / xyflow by xyflow — the node-based graph library that powers OmniRoute's real-time Compression Studio and Combo/Routing Studio dashboards.

Special thanks to LangGraph by LangChain — the agent-graph framework whose LangGraph Studio live workflow-graph visualization inspired OmniRoute's Compression and Combo Studios: watching compression engines and combo fallbacks cascade in real time.
