Recommended: Use a Router/AggregatorInstead of juggling separate API keys and endpoints for each provider above, point them all through a self-hosted or third-party router. One OpenAI-compatible endpoint, automatic fallback when a provider's free quota runs out, and unified usage tracking.
Bifrost
9router
Hosted router — plug in Cloudflare Workers AI, Kimchi Dev, and similar free-tier providers behind one key.
https://phcorner.org/threads/2558506
Omnirouter
Similar concept to 9router — aggregates multiple free-tier providers (e.g. Cloudflare Workers AI) behind a single unified endpoint.
Why bother:
- One API key/endpoint in your app instead of N
- Automatic failover when a provider hits its daily free-tier cap
- Centralized logging/metrics (token usage, success rate per provider)
- Easier to swap/rotate providers without touching app code
