OmniRoute handles routing, fallback, and token compression automatically
What Is OmniRoute?
OmniRoute is an open-source AI gateway that sits between your dev tools and providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. It routes requests using 17 strategies, compresses tokens with RTK+Caveman, and handles outages — all from a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint on your machine.
How Does OmniRoute Route Requests?
OmniRoute scores providers across latency, cost, quota, and error rate. Its Auto-Combo engine chains fallback tiers — subscriptions first, then API keys, then free tiers. If a provider fails, the gateway switches in milliseconds. RTK+Caveman compression cuts token usage by 15-95% before requests leave your machine.
