FreeLLMAPI
★ 26kSelf-hosted gateway that pools the free tiers of 34 LLM providers — Google, Groq, Cerebras, Mistral and more — behind one OpenAI-compatible /v1 endpoint, with routing, failover when a provider is rate-limited, and encrypted keys. Its author says it is for personal experimentation.
FreeLLMAPI does the job of OpenAI API and OpenRouter, self-hosted. It is MIT-licensed, so you can do essentially what you like with it, and it installs in about one command. 26k stars on GitHub.
