# 💰 ~1.6B Free Tokens / Month

> Stacking free tiers by hand is painful — dozens of SDKs, dozens of rate limits, and no idea how much you actually have. OmniRoute aggregates the **documented** free tiers of **40+ provider pools / 500+ models** into one honest number and shows it live on the dashboard (`/dashboard/free-tiers`). - **~1.6B free tokens / month** (steady) — and **up to ~2.1B in your first month** with signup credits. - **Pool-deduped, honest** — we count each shared free pool **once**, so the headline isn't inflated by rate-limit ceilings the way multi-billion competitor claims are. (Counting every rate limit 24/7 would read ~10B; we don't publish that.) - **Plus the un-countable** — permanently-free, no-token-cap providers (SiliconFlow, Z.AI GLM-Flash, Kilo, OpenCode Zen…) and a **$10 OpenRouter top-up** that unlocks **+24M/mo**, both surfaced separately so they never inflate the headline. - **Per-model breakdown**, **live used / remaining** for the current month, and a transparent **terms flag** per provider. ![Free-Tier Budget card (preview mockup)](docs/screenshots/free-tier-budget-card.svg) > Preview mockup — a real screenshot lands once the `/dashboard/free-tiers` page is validated. Full methodology (pool dedupe, credit tiers, provider terms): **[docs/reference/FREE_TIERS.md](docs/reference/FREE_TIERS.md)**.

# 🎯 Combos — The Flagship

> A **combo** is a chain of models OmniRoute routes across **automatically**. Quota runs out, a provider fails, or costs spike — the combo silently slides to the next model. **This is what makes OmniRoute unbreakable.** 🛡️ ### ⚡ Zero-config — just use `auto` No combo to create. Set your model to `auto` (or a variant) and OmniRoute builds a virtual combo from your connected providers, scored live: | Model ID | What it optimizes for | | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | | `auto` | 🎯 Balanced default (LKGP — sticks to your last good provider) | | `auto/coding` | 🧑‍💻 Quality-first weights for code generation | | `auto/fast` | ⚡ Lowest latency first | | `auto/cheap` | 💰 Cheapest per token first | | `auto/offline` | 🔋 Most quota / rate-limit headroom first | | `auto/smart` | 🔭 Quality-first + 10% exploration to discover better models | ## ### 🔀 Or build your own — 17 routing strategies All **17** strategies — mix & match per combo step: | # | Strategy | What it does | | --- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | `priority` | First-target ordered list — drain each before the next 🥇 | | 2 | `fill-first` | Fill each target's quota fully before moving on | | 3 | `weighted` | Weighted random by per-target weight | | 4 | `round-robin` | Cycle through targets in order | | 5 | `p2c` | Power-of-two-choices random load balancing | | 6 | `least-used` | Pick the target with the lowest current load | | 7 | `random` | Uniform random pick (deduplicated) | | 8 | `strict-random` | Random without de-duplicating repeats 🎲 | | 9 | `cost-optimized` | Minimize $ per request from live catalog pricing 💸 | | 10 | `headroom` | Pick the target with the most remaining quota | | 11 | `reset-window` | Prefer the target whose quota window resets soonest | | 12 | `reset-aware` | Rank by quota reset time — short windows first 📊 | | 13 | `context-relay` | Hand off context across targets for long conversations 🧠 | | 14 | `context-optimized` | Pick the best fit for the current context size | | 15 | `lkgp` | Last-Known-Good Path — sticky to the last successful target | | 16 | `auto` | 9-factor live scoring across every connection 🤖 | | 17 | `fusion` | Fan out to a panel of models + a judge synthesizes one answer 🧬 | _{The Auto-Combo engine scores every candidate on **9 factors** (health, quota, cost, latency, success rate, freshness…) — see [`docs/routing/AUTO-COMBO.md`](docs/routing/AUTO-COMBO.md).} ## ### ⚖️ Quota-Share — split one subscription across a team ✨ NEW > Running several keys against the **same upstream account** (one Codex Pro plan, one Kimi key, one GLM Coding seat)? A burst on one key can burn the whole 5-hour / hourly quota and lock everyone else out. **Quota-Share** distributes a provider's time-based quota **fairly** across the keys in a pool — and it's _work-conserving_, so an idle member's slice is lent out instead of wasted. | Knob | What it controls | | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ⚖️ **Allocation weight** | each key's slice of the pool — e.g. `50 / 30 / 20` | | 📐 **Dimensions** | track `%` · requests · tokens · `$`, per **5h / 7d / per-model** window | | 🚦 **Policy** | `hard` (block over share) · `soft` (deprioritize) · `burst` (use idle headroom) | | 🧱 **Cap** | absolute ceiling per key, independent of mode | ``` Pool "team-codex" · 1 Codex Pro account · 3 keys · 5-hour window ├─ alice weight 50 ██████████░░░░░░░░░░ ≤ 50% of the shared 5h quota ├─ bob weight 30 ██████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ≤ 30% └─ ci-bot weight 20 ████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ≤ 20% Generous mode (<50% pool used) → idle shares are lent out Strict mode (≥50% pool used) → each key held to its fair share ``` _{Enforced in the hot path **before** the request leaves OmniRoute, with per-(key, model) caps + session stickiness for prompt-cache integrity (now with a per-combo / global disable toggle). 📖 [Quota Sharing Engine](docs/routing/QUOTA_SHARE.md)} ## ### 🧱 Resilience is built in (3 independent layers) | Layer | Scope | What it does | | -------------------------- | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 🔌 **Circuit breaker** | whole provider | Stops hammering a provider that's failing upstream; auto-probes to recover | | 💤 **Connection cooldown** | one account / key | Skips a rate-limited key while other keys keep serving | | 🎯 **Model lockout** | provider + model | Quarantines just one quota-limited model, not the whole connection | ``` Combo: "always-on" Strategy: priority 1. cc/claude-opus-4-7 ← subscription (use it fully) 2. cx/gpt-5.5 ← second subscription 3. glm/glm-5.1 ← cheap backup ($0.5/1M) 4. kr/claude-sonnet-4.5 ← FREE, unlimited (never fails) Result: 4 layers of fallback = zero downtime ``` _{📖 [Auto-Combo Engine](docs/routing/AUTO-COMBO.md) · [Resilience Guide](docs/architecture/RESILIENCE_GUIDE.md)}

# ✨ What's New

> Recent highlights from **v3.8.20 → v3.8.45**. Full history in [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md). - **🗜️ Compression hardening** — a default-on **inflation guard** (discard the stacked result and send the verbatim original whenever compression would _grow_ the prompt), completed **Caveman rule packs** for German / French / Japanese (dedup + ultra) plus a new **Chinese (文言 / wényán) input pack** with zh-vs-ja auto-detection, and **RTK filters for Gradle & .NET (`dotnet`)** build output. → [Compression](docs/compression/COMPRESSION_ENGINES.md) - **💸 Honest flat-rate cost** — subscription / coding-plan providers (ChatGPT Web, grok-web, the Minimax / Kimi / GLM / Alibaba Coding plans, Xiaomi MiMo…) now read **$0** in cost analytics instead of an inflated per-token estimate, while budget / quota / routing keep estimating unchanged. → [API Reference](docs/reference/API_REFERENCE.md) - **⚖️ Quota-Share routing** — a dedicated combo strategy that spreads load across accounts by _available quota_: Deficit-Round-Robin scheduling, per-connection `max_concurrent` with cooldown-wait queueing, multi-window usage buckets (5h / 7d / per-model), per-(key, model) caps, session stickiness for prompt-cache integrity (now with a per-combo / global disable toggle), and proactive saturation from upstream token-usage headers. → [Resilience Guide](docs/architecture/RESILIENCE_GUIDE.md) - **🤖 One-command CLI/agent setup** — a dedicated `setup-*` command configures each coding tool to route through OmniRoute (Claude Code, Codex, Cline, Continue, Cursor, Roo Code, Kilo Code, Crush, Goose, Qwen Code, Aider, OpenCode); `omniroute launch` / `omniroute launch-codex` are zero-config launchers. → [CLI Integrations](docs/guides/CLI-INTEGRATIONS.md) - **🛰️ Remote mode** — drive a remote OmniRoute from any machine with scoped access tokens (`omniroute connect` / `omniroute contexts` / `omniroute tokens`), plus an `omniroute login antigravity` helper that runs Google "native/desktop" OAuth on your own machine and pastes a credential blob into a remote/VPS install (where the loopback redirect is unreachable). → [Remote Mode](docs/guides/REMOTE-MODE.md) - **🧭 Smarter auto-routing** — OpenRouter-style `auto/:` combos (e.g. `auto/coding:fast`, `auto/reasoning:pro`), a **Fusion** strategy (fan out to a panel of models in parallel, then synthesize via a judge), **task-aware routing** (best-fit connection per task type), per-request `X-Route-Model` override, live Arena-ELO + models.dev model intelligence, per-step account allowlists, provider-wildcard combo steps, nested combo-ref execution, sticky weighted selection, `web_search`-aware routing, and **per-request Auto-Combo controls** (`X-OmniRoute-Mode` mode-preset override + `X-OmniRoute-Budget` hard USD cost ceiling, scoped to a single request). → [Auto-Combo](docs/routing/AUTO-COMBO.md) - **🗜️ Pluggable compression** — an async pipeline of **10 composable engines** with Compression Studios, an LLMLingua-2 ONNX engine and a heuristic/SLM two-tier **Ultra**, RTK, delegated Anthropic Context Editing, **Output Styles** (output-axis steering: terse-prose / less-code / terse-CJK), an **adaptive context-budget dial** (escalate only as far as needed to fit the context window), per-request `x-omniroute-compression` control, an opt-in offline eval harness, one-click **Headroom** proxy lifecycle management from the dashboard (Docker sidecar supported), a synthetic **compression playground** (Play lanes + A/B Compare with USD-capped fidelity verdicts), an opt-in **per-step fidelity gate** that rejects a lossy engine before it degrades the prompt, a **best-of-N candidate encoder** (GCF vs TOON — keep whichever is shorter, with an A/B bytes/token table in the studio), **CCR ranged/grep/stats retrieval** (pull an exact byte/line slice or summary of a stored block instead of re-expanding it), a unified panel with named profiles + an active-profile selector, an opt-in **per-engine pipeline circuit-breaker**, an opt-in **LLM-tier engine** (a model pass for higher-ratio semantic compression), a **read-lifecycle engine** that collapses superseded file reads, **usage-observed prefix freeze**, a graduated **CCR retrieval-feedback ramp**, a `preserveSystemPrompt` mode enum, and a **drag-reorder pipeline editor** in the studio. → [Compression](docs/compression/COMPRESSION_ENGINES.md) - **🕵️ Transparent MITM decrypt (TPROXY)** — capture & translate traffic from CLIs that ignore proxy env vars, with a per-SNI certificate authority and a trust-store installer. → [MITM/TPROXY](docs/security/MITM-TPROXY-DECRYPT.md) - **💸 Cost telemetry everywhere** — `X-OmniRoute-*` cost/usage headers on every endpoint (including media), a non-token cost engine, a cache-HIT `X-OmniRoute-Cost-Saved` header, and per-key USD spend quotas. → [API Reference](docs/reference/API_REFERENCE.md) - **🧠 Memory you control** — opt-in int8 vector quantization (Qdrant + sqlite-vec), opt-in **typed memory decay** (aged low-value memories fade on a per-type schedule), memory off by default, and a per-request `x-omniroute-no-memory` header. → [Memory](docs/frameworks/MEMORY.md) - **🛡️ Security** — a prompt-injection guard across every LLM route (backed by a red-team suite), plus a free DuckDuckGo last-resort web search. → [Guardrails](docs/security/GUARDRAILS.md) - **🖼️ New endpoints** — `/v1/ocr` (Mistral OCR) and `/v1/audio/translations` (Whisper-style audio translation) round out the media API surface. → [API Reference](docs/reference/API_REFERENCE.md) - **🌍 Deployment & ops** — reverse-proxy `basePath` deployment (`OMNIROUTE_BASE_PATH`, e.g. serving OmniRoute under `/omniroute/`), browser-language auto-detect on first visit, per-API-key device/connection tracking (IP+UA fingerprint, masked, in-memory only), root-less MITM cert trust for user-namespaced containers (`OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO`), and server-side configured-only / available-only filters on the Free Provider Rankings page. → [Environment](docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md) - **🤝 More providers & agents** — Cursor Cloud Agent (a 4th cloud agent), CodeBuddy CN (`copilot.tencent.com`), a Google Flow video-generation provider, new gateways **DGrid** and **Pioneer AI** (Fastino Labs), inbound **xAI Grok** translators plus **Grok Build (xAI)** with an OAuth import-token flow, GPT-4 / GPT-4o-mini on the GitHub Copilot provider, multi-model **Factory Droid**, **ZenMux Free** (session-cookie free tier), **Alibaba DashScope** text-to-video (`wan2.7-t2v`), a refreshed 237-provider catalog (OrcaRouter, Wafer AI, OpenAdapter, dit.ai, TokenRouter, …), Vertex AI media generation (speech/transcription/music/video), a first-class **Ollama** local-provider card, the **SenseNova** free Token Plan (chat + text-to-image), one-click account import from CLIProxyAPI (`~/.cli-proxy-api/`), **Claude Sonnet 5** wired end-to-end, a new provider wave (**Kenari**, **SumoPod**, **X5Lab**, **Charm Hyper**, **Nube.sh**, **b.ai**, **Qiniu**, **ModelScope**, **Augment/Auggie CLI**, **ClinePass**, NVIDIA NIM image generation), Codex account import from a raw ChatGPT access token, the **Requesty** gateway (BYOK, ~200 free req/day), **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider (DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan), the **Zed** hosted LLM aggregator (OAuth), **Claude 5 Sonnet** on the Claude Web provider, Kiro **adaptive-thinking reasoning** surfaced as `reasoning_content`, and **bulk API-key add for Cloudflare Workers AI**. → [Providers](docs/reference/PROVIDER_REFERENCE.md) - **⚡ Local performance & infra** — a one-click local Redis launcher (`omniroute redis up`, plus a dashboard Redis panel), one-click **Cloudflare Workers** and **Deno Deploy** relay deployers wired into the proxy pool, a relay-backend selector (`OMNIROUTE_RELAY_BACKEND=ts|bifrost|auto`) so `/v1/relay` stays the stable surface while choosing the fastest backend internally, **Bifrost** (Go AI-gateway) and **Mux** (agent-orchestration daemon) promoted to first-class embedded/supervised services alongside 9Router/CLIProxyAPI, and **Webshare** added as a paid fourth source in the free-proxy provider framework. → [Embedded Services](docs/frameworks/EMBEDDED-SERVICES.md)

# 🗜️ Save 15–95% Tokens — Automatically

> **Why use many tokens when few tokens do the trick?** Every request passes through OmniRoute's compression pipeline **transparently** — no client changes. It's now a **stack of 10 composable engines** that run in order and mix & match per routing combo — building on ideas from [RTK](https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk), [Caveman](https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman) (⭐ 78K+), [LLMLingua-2](https://github.com/microsoft/LLMLingua), and [Troglodita](https://github.com/leninejunior/troglodita) (PT-BR). ### 🧱 The 10-engine stack Engines run in pipeline order; each is independently toggleable and configurable per combo: | # | Engine | What it does | | --- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | **Session-Dedup** | Drops content repeated across turns (content-addressed, cross-turn) | | 2 | **CCR** | Archives large blocks behind retrieve markers, fetched on demand | | 3 | **RTK** | Smart tool-result filtering, dedup & truncation (command-aware) | | 4 | **Headroom** | Lossless tabular compaction of homogeneous JSON arrays (~30%+) | | 5 | **Relevance** | Extractive sentence scoring against the last user query | | 6 | **Caveman** | Rule-based prose compression (~65–75% on output) | | 7 | **LLMLingua-2** | ML semantic pruning via MobileBERT ONNX — code-safe, async | | 8 | **Lite** | Whitespace + image-URL trimming (latency-light baseline) | | 9 | **Aggressive** | Summarization + progressive aging of old turns | | 10 | **Ultra** | Heuristic token pruning with an optional small-model (SLM) tier | Code blocks, URLs and structured data are **always preserved** byte-perfect. **One-click presets** combine the engines: | Mode | Savings | Best for | | ------------------------------ | ---------- | --------------------------- | | 🪶 **Lite** | ~15% | Always-on safe default | | 🪨 **Standard (Caveman)** | ~30% | Daily coding | | ⚡ **Aggressive** | ~50% | Long tool-heavy sessions | | 🔥 **Ultra** | ~75% | Maximum savings | | 🧰 **RTK** | 60–90% | Shell/test/build/git output | | 🔗 **Stacked (RTK → Caveman)** | **78–95%** | Mixed prompts + tool logs | **Real example — Standard mode:** > **Before (69 tokens):** _"The reason your React component is re-rendering is likely because you're creating a new object reference on each render cycle. When you pass an inline object as a prop, React's shallow comparison sees it as a different object every time, which triggers a re-render. I would recommend using useMemo to memoize the object."_ > > **After (19 tokens):** _"New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in useMemo."_ > > **Same answer. 72% fewer tokens. Zero accuracy loss.** ✅ **PT-BR example — [Troglodita](https://github.com/leninejunior/troglodita) mode:** > **Antes (42 tokens):** _"O problema é que o componente está re-renderizando porque uma nova referência de objeto está sendo criada em cada ciclo de renderização. Eu recomendaria usar useMemo."_ > > **Depois (12 tokens):** _"Re-render: ref nova cada ciclo (objeto inline recriado). Usar `useMemo`."_ > > **Mesma resposta. ~70% menos tokens. Precisão técnica intacta.** ✅
### 📖 How it works — pipeline, architecture & savings math ``` Client (10,000 tok) ──▶ OmniRoute Compression (10 engines) ──▶ Provider (~1,080 tok, up to 95% saved) ``` Default stacked combo runs `RTK → Caveman`. When both act on the same tool/context payload, savings compound: ```txt combined = 1 − (1 − RTK) × (1 − Caveman_input) average = 1 − (1 − 0.80) × (1 − 0.46) = 89.2% range = 78.4 – 94.6% ``` Code blocks, URLs, JSON and structured data are **always protected** by the preservation engine. ### 🎚️ Beyond the engines — output styles, the adaptive dial & per-request control The 10 engines above shrink what goes **in**. Three more layers shape **how**, **when**, and what comes **out**: - **🪄 Output Styles** _(output-axis steering)_ — inject deterministic, cache-safe response-shaping instructions; combinable, each at `lite` / `full` / `ultra` intensity. Adding a style is a one-line registry entry: - **Terse prose** — drop filler / articles / hedging; keep technical substance exact. - **Less code** — "lazy senior dev" YAGNI: smallest working change, no unrequested scaffolding. - **Terse CJK (文言)** — classical-Chinese ultra-terse style (locale-gated to `zh`). - **🎯 Adaptive context-budget** _(the dial)_ — instead of one on/off token threshold, escalate the cheapest, most-lossless engines only as far as needed to **fit the model's context window**. Policy: `reserve-output` (default, model-aware) · `percentage` · `absolute`. Mode: `floor` (guarantee fit) · `replace-autotrigger` (your explicit choice wins) · `off` (legacy threshold). - **🎛️ Where compression is decided** _(precedence, high → low)_ — per-request `x-omniroute-compression` header › routing-combo override › active named profile › adaptive / auto-trigger › panel default › off. The applied plan echoes back in the `X-OmniRoute-Compression: ; source=` response header. Auto-trigger by token threshold, flip on the adaptive dial, pin a named profile, set a one-off per request, or assign a pipeline per routing combo — whichever fits the workload. An opt-in offline **eval harness** (`npm run eval:compression`) scores fidelity vs. savings on a pinned corpus before you promote a change. 📖 [`COMPRESSION_GUIDE.md`](docs/compression/COMPRESSION_GUIDE.md) · [`RTK_COMPRESSION.md`](docs/compression/RTK_COMPRESSION.md) · [`COMPRESSION_ENGINES.md`](docs/compression/COMPRESSION_ENGINES.md)

# ⚡ Quick Start

**1) Install & run** ```bash npm install -g omniroute omniroute ``` Dashboard at `http://localhost:20128` · API at `http://localhost:20128/v1`. **2) Connect a FREE provider (no signup)** Dashboard → **Providers** → connect **Kiro AI** (free Claude, ~50 credits/month per account) or **OpenCode Free** (no auth) → done. **3) Point your coding tool** ```txt Base URL: http://localhost:20128/v1 API Key: [copy from Dashboard → Endpoints] Model: auto (zero-config smart routing — or any provider/model) ``` **4) Verify it's working** ```bash curl http://localhost:20128/v1/models -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" ``` You should see your connected models listed. 🎉 That's it — start coding, and OmniRoute auto-routes & falls back for you. If your client cannot send custom headers, OmniRoute also exposes tokenized compatibility aliases: ```txt OpenAI catalog: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/ OpenAI models: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/models OpenAI chat: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/chat/completions OpenAI responses: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/responses Ollama chat: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/api/chat Ollama tags: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/api/tags ``` Use these only for clients that cannot attach `Authorization: Bearer ...`. Header auth remains the preferred mode.
## 📦 More install methods — Docker, source, pnpm, Arch **🐳 Docker** ```bash docker run -d --name omniroute --restart unless-stopped --stop-timeout 40 \ -p 20128:20128 -v omniroute-data:/app/data diegosouzapw/omniroute:latest ``` **🛠️ From source** ```bash cp .env.example .env && npm install PORT=20128 npm run dev ``` **📦 pnpm** ```bash pnpm add -g omniroute@latest --allow-build=better-sqlite3 --allow-build=@swc/core && omniroute ``` **🐧 Arch Linux (AUR)** ```bash yay -S omniroute-bin && systemctl --user enable --now omniroute.service ``` **🔧 Nix (Flake)** ```bash # Using Nix flakes nix develop npm run dev # Or using devbox devbox run npm run dev ``` 📖 [Docker Guide](docs/guides/DOCKER_GUIDE.md) — Compose profiles, Caddy HTTPS, Cloudflare tunnels. **🦭 Podman** ```bash # 1. Build the image podman build --target runner-base -t omniroute:base . # 2. Fix data directory permissions for rootless Podman mkdir -p data && podman unshare chown 1000:1000 ./data # 3. Set runtime in .env, then run (see contrib/podman/ for Quadlet) echo "CONTAINER_HOST=podman" >> .env podman compose --profile base up -d ``` 📖 [Podman Guide](contrib/podman/README.md) — Quadlet setup, podman-compose, Quadlet. **⚡ Faster / leaner install (skip the native build)** The native SQLite engine (`better-sqlite3`) is an **optional** dependency, so a global install never blocks on compiling from source: it uses a prebuilt binary when one matches your platform/Node, and otherwise falls back transparently to a pure-JS engine (`node:sqlite` on Node 22+, else the bundled `sql.js` WASM) — no build tools required. To skip the post-install native warm-up entirely (CI, headless, or slow machines): ```bash OMNIROUTE_SKIP_POSTINSTALL=1 npm install -g omniroute # CI=1 also skips it ``` For the fastest installs prefer **pnpm** (content-addressed store + hard links — see above). For a dashboard-free, headless runtime use the Docker `base` profile (above) or the [Termux guide](docs/guides/TERMUX_GUIDE.md). The CLI and the web dashboard are served by the same process on one port, so there is no separate CLI-only package today.

## 🙏 Acknowledgments

OmniRoute stands on the shoulders of giants. It started as a fork of **[9router](https://github.com/decolua/9router)** and a TypeScript port of the Go project **[CLIProxyAPI](https://github.com/router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI)** — and from there, every subsystem below was inspired by an open-source project that got there first. Each one shaped a concrete piece of OmniRoute. This is our thank-you to all of them. 🙏 > ⭐ star counts as of June 2026 — go give these projects a star. ### 🧬 Lineage & gateway | Project | ⭐ | How it inspired OmniRoute | |
