Description

I built an OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway that routes requests to OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, vLLM, llama-server, SGLang... anything that speaks /v1/chat/completions. Single Go binary, one YAML config file, no infrastructure.It does the things you'd expect from this kind of gateway... semantic routing via a three-layer cascade (keyword heuristics, embedding similarity, LLM classifier) that picks the best model when clients omit the model field, weighted round-robin load balancing across local inference servers with health checks and failover.The part I think is most interesting is the network layer. The gateway and backends communicate over zrok/OpenZiti overlay networks... reach a GPU box behind NAT, expose the gateway to clients, put components anywhere with internet connectivity behind firewalls... no port forwarding, no VPN. Zero-trust in both directions. Most LLM proxies solve the API translation problem. This one also solves the network problem.Apache 2.0. https://github.com/openziti/llm-gatewayI work for NetFoundry, which sponsors the OpenZiti project this is built on.

Could you build this?

Yes It is a single-binary reverse proxy in Go translating OpenAI-compatible REST schemas and routing requests to different LLM backends based on simple YAML rules.

Competitors mentioned: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Open source models

Concerns raised: OSS models require expertise to evaluate and select, Need to write custom evaluations for OSS models, Unclear quality/consistency from OSS providers vs. established APIs, Complexity overhead outweighs cost savings of OSS

Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
