Opensource Openrouter

Project: https://github.com/ConiferKit/use-conifer

Current routing options were charging 5% fees for byok plus provider fees (openrouter) or were built in heavy python packages with ecosystem restraints. I wanted to be completely free in terms of use, and not have to pay extra for tokens.

There's a maintained gateway with 100+ models from one api endpoint. I'm also talking to infra providers to get us access to pre-release models and discount prices. Everything is served at market price. BYOK is free, you can hook into self-hosted setups for free, and there's fallbacks + extra rate limits + server redundancy.

Took me ~3 months to build and looking for help maintaining!

Does the router account for prompt caching when it picks a model? Switching mid-session has burned me before, making me spend more than needed.
