Could you build this?

Partial Creating an API proxy with billing and an OpenAI-compatible interface is straightforward, but offering 60-90% discounts on frontier models requires proprietary compute deals, token arbitrage, or reverse-proxy account pooling infrastructure.

What it would actually take: Architecture consists of an edge gateway (Cloudflare Workers or Go/Rust reverse proxy) enforcing token metering and routing OpenAI-spec requests to upstream providers. The bottleneck is the business and infra moat: securing massive enterprise discounts or orchestrating high-concurrency token pool switching across international accounts without getting banned or rate-limited.
