🚀 OmniRoute — The Free AI Gateway
💰 ~1.62B Tokens / Month Across Third-Party Free Tiers
Bring your own provider accounts. This is an estimated aggregate across separately eligible third-party free tiers, not a token grant from OmniRoute. Sign up, obtain credentials where required, and connect the providers you can use; each provider controls its limits, availability, and terms.
> Stacking free tiers by hand is painful — dozens of SDKs, dozens of rate limits, and no idea how much you actually have. OmniRoute catalogs 485 free-tier entries across 34 recurring pool keys and computes the token headline from the 17 pools with a published positive monthly budget plus five per-model Groq caps, deduplicated by shared pool. Quotas that only open after a regional identity check (today: ModelScope) are shown apart, +~6M behind regional identity verification, and never summed into the headline. The result stays visible on the dashboard (/dashboard/free-tiers).
Animated summary of the live /dashboard/free-tiers page. Full methodology (pool dedupe, credit tiers, provider terms): docs/reference/FREE_TIERS.md.
> These figures are re-audited every two weeks against the live catalog and move both ways — a provider ends a free tier and the number drops; a new one lands and it climbs. We publish what the catalog actually computes, never a rounded-up best case.
⭐ Star the repo if OMNIROUTE helped you save money and make your work easier.

# After connecting a provider, copy your OmniRoute key from Dashboard → Endpoints:
curl http://localhost:20128/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_OMNIROUTE_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"auto","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello!"}]}'
auto needs an eligible route. A fresh installation can have no eligible keyless targets, and a keyless provider may reject third-party clients. Providers marked tos: avoid, including Kiro, are excluded from automatic routing by default; connecting an account does not override that setting. See the Free Tiers Guide before choosing a provider.
