Yet another OpenAI-compatible gateway when LiteLLM and OpenRouter already exist.
Turns your browser-signed sessions with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity into one localhost endpoint (localhost:3210) with Python/JS SDKs, a smart router and 45+ MCP tools like file analysis and math search. It's a clever pragmatic play — useful tooling (REST shim, tool palette, retry logic) — but the no-API-key angle is inherently brittle and raises reliability/observability and privacy tradeoffs, so expect engineering work to keep it stable.
Drop-in OpenAI API gateway with failover—LiteLLM does this but this has a dashboard.
LLM gateway with Redis + Qdrant caching, but LiteLLM does this.
Go gateway with circuit breakers, but auth isn't production-ready yet.
Bifrost combines an OpenAI-compatible front door with adaptive load balancing, semantic caching, automatic failover, cluster mode and a built-in web UI — you can spin it up with npx or Docker in seconds. The performance claims (sub-100µs overhead at 5k RPS, '50x faster than LiteLLM') and multi-provider routing are the project's selling points; I want to see independent benchmarks and deeper docs on guardrails/provider quirks before trusting it for critical workloads.
