Self-hosted LLM gateway that routes requests across AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Ollama) using intelligent multi-policy scoring — including an LLM-native routing policy. Drop-in compatible: just swap the base URL. No database required, built-in cost tracking, budget enforcement and multi-tenant isolation.

AI API gateway with cost tracking and budget enforcement. Works with any language.

Runtime containment kernel for LLM agents. Enforces budget, step, retry, and circuit-breaker limits before the model call.

UnitCause is a real-time cost governance platform for AI agents. It provides budget enforcement, loop detection, cost analytics, and policy management via a web dashboard, REST API, and Python SDK. Set budgets, stop runaway agents, and monitor spending with ease.

CLI bridge for delegating heavy reasoning from Claude Code to Gemini API. Auto-routing, deep thinking tiers, SHA256 caching, daily budget enforcement. Python.
