Could you build this?
Partial A gateway that routes OpenAI-compatible requests to existing providers is easy to vibe-code. Serving open-weight models at near-cost prices requires GPU infrastructure or wholesale capacity that vibe coding can't provide.
What it would actually take: Build an OpenAI-compatible proxy with API keys, rate limits, metering, and a crypto payment layer such as x402 with USDC. Real cost advantage requires self-hosted GPU inference (vLLM or similar) with autoscaling or negotiated provider pricing. The hard parts are inference-serving optimization, GPU capacity management, and margin economics at scale.
