OmniRoute is an AI model router that aggregates 460+ models from 43 providers and shows 1.53 billion free tokens available monthly across its dashboard. The platform offers 18 routing strategies, automatic model selection via the "auto" mode, quota-sharing across team members, token compression saving 15-95%, and runs on multiple platforms from npm to Android. Users can now route requests automatically across providers based on cost, latency, quota availability, or quality, with automatic failover when one provider hits limits or fails.

Why it matters

OmniRoute is an open-source AI routing gateway that lets developers connect coding tools to over 237 AI providers through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint with automatic failover and cost optimization.

Google burned cash for the first time in its history, spending more on AI infrastructure than it generates quarterly—a stark inversion of the company that built a search-driven money machine. Sequoia's $300 million bet on Etched, valuing the chip startup at $10.3 billion, reflects the same calculus: if you can't afford the compute, build the hardware. Etched's inference-optimized silicon and competitors like Cursor's model router are solving a real problem—frontier models like Claude Opus cost too much for routine work. Cursor users report saving 30–50% by routing simple tasks to cheaper models, while Runway and Ramp built similar routers for their respective domains. The proliferation suggests the all-frontier-all-the-time era is ending.
