frugaLLM is a zero-dependency local LLM routing proxy designed specifically for OpenRouter users. It automatically discovers the best free models of the day, routes daily requests to $0.00 endpoints, and only upgrades to paid models when necessary, helping you maximize API budget utilization.
Section 01
frugaLLM is a zero-dependency local LLM routing proxy designed for OpenRouter users. It automatically discovers the best free models of the day, routes daily requests to free endpoints, and only upgrades to paid models when necessary. This solves the pain point of paid model credits being consumed by small tasks, helping you maximize API budget utilization.
Section 02
For OpenRouter users who frequently use AI for programming assistance and writing, small tasks (such as correcting spelling errors, formatting JSON, writing git commit messages) also call paid models, leading to rapid credit consumption (11 USD might be spent in a few days). Users are afraid to ask small questions casually. This is the core problem that frugaLLM aims to solve.
Section 03
frugaLLM uses a three-tier routing system:
Section 04
Every time frugaLLM starts, it scans OpenRouter's /models endpoint, automatically updates the routing table, and selects the best free model of the day. No need to manually track free models, update configurations, or worry about missing new models/limited-time offers.
Section 05
frugaLLM is a pure Python 3.10+ project, relying only on the requests library. It runs locally and listens on http://localhost:5050/v1 (simulating the OpenAI API endpoint). Benefits include: privacy (requests pass through the local proxy first), flexibility (supports apps that customize OpenAI endpoints), light weight (no complex dependencies), and controllability (source code can be modified).
Section 06
Usage Steps:
Section 07
frugaLLM advocates a pragmatic strategy: don't pay for high-end models for simple tasks. Free models are competent for many daily tasks, and intelligent routing helps users make full use of free resources, leaving the budget for complex reasoning scenarios. It is suitable for individual developers, small teams, and other users who want to control AI usage costs. If your OpenRouter bill makes you feel distressed, you might want to try frugaLLM.

Nornir MCP Server is an enterprise-level server based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It seamlessly integrates large language models (such as Claude) with the Nornir network automation framework, supporting natural language orchestration for multi-vendor network devices (Cisco, Arista, Juniper, etc.), and providing production-grade features like a dual-engine architecture (NAPALM + Netmiko), intelligent filtering, and a secure sandbox.
Bibliothèque Française LLM is a structured indexing and annotation project for French public domain literature designed specifically for large language models (LLMs). It integrates multiple authoritative sources such as DraCor, Common Corpus, and Wikisource, providing metadata indexing categorized by genre, author, and era, as well as in-depth annotations for dramatic texts (including characters, lines, stage directions, etc.). Its aim is to enable LLMs to efficiently read and understand classic French literary works.
Splinter is a minimalist, high-performance key-value (KV) and vector storage system enabling zero-latency inter-process communication via shared memory and atomic operations. With only 766 lines of core code, it supports millions of operations per second and 768-dimensional vector storage, offering a new architectural approach for local LLM inference and data-intensive applications.
libmlxforge is an embeddable MLX large language model (LLM) inference engine designed specifically for Apple Silicon. It provides a unified C ABI interface, supports calls from Node.js, Swift, and Rust, and features continuous batching, streaming output, JSON-constrained structured output, and embedding vector generation.
