Description
Hi, I’m Jakub, a solo founder based in Warsaw.I’ve been building GoModel since December with a couple of contributors. It's an open-source AI gateway that sits between your app and model providers like OpenAI, Anthropic or others.I built it for my startup to solve a few problems: - track AI usage and cost per client or team - switch models without changing app code - debug request flows more easily - reduce AI spendings with exact and semantic caching How is it different? - ~17MB docker image - LiteLLM's image is more than 44x bigger ("docker.litellm.ai/berriai/litellm:latest" ~ 746 MB on amd64) - request workflow is visible and easy to inspect - config is environment-variable-first by default I'm posting now partly because of the recent LiteLLM supply-chain attack. Their team handled it impressively well, but some people are looking at alternatives anyway, and GoModel is one.Website: https://gomodel.enterpilot.ioAny feedback is appreciated.

Could you build this?
Yes An AI reverse-proxy gateway in Go handling request routing, rate limiting, token tracking, and caching across OpenAI and Anthropic APIs is standard CRUD/networking infrastructure.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
