Post Description

Hey HNers - Riz here.

I got together with a few guys and we built an LLM gateway.

It's designed for small teams working on early-stage products, and can be deployed to AWS using a single command (i.e. `mantis deploy`).

It's self-hosted, and is designed to belong to you.

Consciousness Gateway – AI routing with consciousness-first alignment

Product Algebra routing plus an explicit 'dharma' pipeline (no-self regularization, entropy/mindfulness metrics, compassion and ethos scores) is a strikingly specific approach — it moves beyond cost/capability heuristics into cross-modal interaction scoring and reputation-driven incentives. There's real engineering here (1s perception loop, SQLite memory, Telegram UX, multi-provider SDK support), but the repo reads young and claim-heavy: I want reproducible benchmark artifacts, links from the code to the cited 439-model experiments, and clearer deployment/security guidance before trusting it for critical workloads.
