What is OmniRoute?
OmniRoute is an AI gateway created by Diego Souza and released under the MIT license. It sits between AI clients and model providers and exposes one endpoint for tools that use the OpenAI request format. Its dashboard has an Endpoints page where you copy your OmniRoute key after connecting a provider.
The project is built around bring-your-own provider accounts. Its README states that free-tier figures are an estimated aggregate across separately eligible third-party free tiers, not a token grant from OmniRoute, so each provider controls its own limits, availability and terms. The same page notes that the figure is re-audited every two weeks and moves both ways.
Deployment options include Docker, with an image on Docker Hub, and a headless mode started with serve --headless that runs the gateway without the dashboard. Community support runs through Discord, Telegram and WhatsApp groups linked from the README. Operators remain responsible for their own provider credentials, quotas and provider terms.
