Show HN: We built open OpenRouter that turns usage into a better model

An open-source Rust model gateway that routes LLM requests across 1000+ models from multiple providers, using ML-driven smart routing (OTel traces, text world models, nearest-neighbor classifiers) to optimize cost/quality per request. It takes zero markup, supports BYOK, and offers an opt-in feature where user traffic trains a custom model.

Background

OpenRouter is a popular commercial LLM model gateway/aggregator. This project positions itself as a zero-markup, open-source alternative with smart routing capabilities.
