Could you build this?
Partial Building a reverse proxy that conforms to OpenAI's schema is straightforward, but delivering 90% cheaper downstream access requires bulk enterprise account pooling, tier arbitrage, and resilient rate-limit orchestration at scale.
What it would actually take: The service is typically an API gateway built with Go or Rust (or open-source solutions like One API / New API) implementing an OpenAI-compatible interface with SSE streaming support. The hard part is managing large pools of upstream enterprise API credentials, automated balance reloading, mitigating provider account bans, and handling dynamic fallback routing under high concurrency. It requires specialized knowledge of model provider billing arbitrage, fraud mitigation, and high-concurrency proxy networking.
