What problem it solves

CLI users may need to access several model providers through one compatible API interface while using multiple accounts. The project addresses this by exposing provider-compatible endpoints and supporting account authentication, round-robin load balancing, streaming, tools, and multimodal inputs.

Key features

• Provider-compatible API interfaces — Expose OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Codex, and Grok compatible endpoints for CLI models. Clients can use these interfaces through compatible clients or SDKs.

  Source: README

• OAuth and CLI authentication — Connect supported providers through OAuth login flows and simple command-line authentication for Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, and Grok.

  Source: README

• Response and tool capabilities — Support streaming, non-streaming, and WebSocket responses where available, along with function calling, tools, and text and image inputs.

  Source: README

• Multi-account load balancing — Distribute requests across multiple Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, and Grok accounts using round-robin load balancing. Dedicated multi-account balancing is also listed for AI Studio Build, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Grok Build.

  Source: README

• Embeddable Go SDK — Provide a reusable Go SDK for embedding the proxy. Documentation covers usage, advanced executors and translators, access, watchers, and custom providers.

Who it may suit

Inference: This may suit developers who want to route CLI model accounts through a local compatible API and need OAuth authentication, multi-account balancing, or an embeddable proxy server.

Topics to discuss

• How should multi-account scheduling handle account-specific quotas and cooldowns?

• Which provider and protocol combinations should receive priority for compatibility testing?

• What configuration and observability features would be most useful for proxy operators?
