On one hand, the diversity is extraordinary — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq, and dozens more are pushing the state of the art forward every month. On the other hand, each provider has its own API format, authentication mechanism, pricing model, and rate limits. Managing multiple provider integrations in a single application means writing and maintaining adapters for each one, handling failover logic, and tracking costs across disparate billing systems.</p> <p>LMRouter solves this problem by providing a single, unified API gateway for all major language model providers. Built in TypeScript and released under the MIT license, LMRouter acts as a lightweight proxy that sits between your application and the various AI provider APIs. You configure your own API keys once, and LMRouter presents a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint that routes requests to the appropriate provider based on the model name.</p>
