Oroute runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 45 installs a week from npm.
Auto-route AI requests to 13 models (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Qwen, DeepSeek). 57% cost savings.
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private.
This one has been quiet for a while
Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.
