Could you build this?
Partial While an OpenAI-compatible proxy interface is easy to scaffold, building a low-latency real-time routing engine with provider-level dynamic price bidding and high-throughput streaming is complex infra.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a high-performance proxy written in Rust or Go deployed across edge nodes to minimize TTFT (time-to-first-token). The hard parts are maintaining ultra-low-latency streaming connections, implementing a real-time auction/pricing engine across dozens of independent API providers, and continuous health checking with automatic fallback. Building this demands deep distributed systems expertise and direct billing integrations with model providers.
