OmniRoute, as one post describes it: a local OpenAI-compatible router in front of a large pool of providers.

The situation¶
The post says a local gateway pools free limits from many providers, speaks one API that coding agents already use, falls back when a provider returns 429 or runs out of quota, compresses context, stores keys locally, and speaks MCP plus an agent-to-agent setup. It also leads with a leak and a huge free-token number.
Claims¶
Every product row is per post. The full table is on the concept page. The claims most often repeated without a source in the room:
| Claim | Keep it tied to |
|---|---|
| 350+ providers, 90+ services, 18 strategies | The post. The strategies are not named |
| 15–95% compression via RTK and Caveman | The post. The engines are not specified here |
| AES-256-GCM and zero telemetry | The post. Not an audit |
| 800 million free tokens, via a leak | The post's hook. Not a capacity plan |

What to steal¶
The picture: many hosts, one local endpoint, explicit fallback, keys that do not have to sit in a third-party proxy. Then verify it with the review playbook.
What to leave¶
The leak framing. Any plan to aggregate accounts you do not control. Any percentage you have not measured.
