Antirion sits between your apps and every LLM provider, and it is built to never be the slow part. One Rust binary with the console built in: point any OpenAI or Anthropic SDK at it and get fallbacks across providers, budgets per team and key, PII and secrets redaction, caching, and a log of every request with its route and cost. On 4 vCPUs it adds 0.5 ms at 5,000 RPS and holds 14,000 RPS, 4x Bifrost. Open source and self-hosted.

Could you build this?
Partial A proxy with fallbacks, budgets, and redaction is buildable, but the sub-millisecond overhead claim requires systems-level Rust performance engineering.
What it would actually take: The stack is a Rust async proxy (for example Tokio and Hyper) with streaming passthrough, a provider-adapter layer, and a console. Hitting the claimed latency needs careful zero-copy design, connection pooling, and benchmarking, plus secure PII detection that works at line rate, which requires experienced systems engineers.
