AiRoute: Developer Creates Local AI Routing Gateway

A developer in China created AiRoute, a local AI routing gateway, to simplify switching between multiple AI models and APIs. The tool allows users to connect clients to a localhost address and change models through a panel interface without altering client configurations. AiRoute supports both Anthropic and OpenAI protocols and includes features like one-click model switching, intelligent routing based on language or keywords, and automatic failover to backup models.

The developer designed AiRoute to address the inconvenience of frequently changing configurations and restarting editors when working with several models. It operates as a middle layer between clients and configured models, handling switching, routing, and redundancy.

AiRoute is free, open source under the MIT license, and available as a single executable file. The developer welcomes contributions and feedback through pull requests or direct communication.
