OpenLLM

Routes coding agents through your AI plans, API keys and local models

OpenLLM is a developer tools tool for Developers and Freelancers, offered as freemium ($30/mo). Popular alternatives include Cursor, PulseDev, Llama App.

About OpenLLM

OpenLLM is a model routing layer for AI coding agents from OpenLLM, Inc., a company registered in Delaware, United States (not to be confused with BentoML's open-source OpenLLM project). A local daemon on Mac or Linux gives Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and similar tools one OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoint for the plans, keys and local models you already have.

Claude, ChatGPT, Kimi Code and Grok subscriptions connect through each vendor's own CLI, API keys go into a vault encrypted in the browser, and Ollama or LM Studio servers are found automatically. Model chains fall through to the next model when one is rate-limited and MCP memory is shared across Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and OpenCode. Free includes 50M non-cached tokens a month and 2 devices; Pro adds unlimited tokens, 5 devices and the hosted gateway.

It suits developers who juggle several AI plans. OpenRouter is better for pay-per-token access to models you have no account with, LiteLLM fits teams running their own gateway, and Portkey adds governance for larger companies. OpenLLM is young: no Windows daemon, single-user only for now, and you should check each provider's terms before routing subscription logins through another tool.

OpenLLM launched on Product Hunt on October 28, 2026 and finished #11 of the day, pitched as a way to take your AI tokens anywhere. Buying tip: Free needs no card, so connect your existing plans first and move to Pro only if you need more than two devices or hit the token cap.

Key features of OpenLLM

  • One OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoint and key for every connected model
  • Use Claude, ChatGPT, Kimi Code and Grok subscriptions from other agents
  • Fallback model chains when a model is rate-limited or unavailable
  • Auto-detection of local Ollama and LM Studio model servers
  • Shared MCP memory across Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and OpenCode
  • Browser-side AES-256-GCM key vault with a user-held recovery phrase
  • Included inference so the first request works with no keys or card
  • Context.dev web fetching as Markdown, JSON or screenshots

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Free tier is generous at 50M non-cached tokens a month
  • Existing config such as ~/.claude is left unmodified
  • Keeps agents running through rate limits with fallback chains
  • Vendor cannot read stored provider keys
  • Mac app installs the daemon without a terminal

Cons

  • No Windows support for the local daemon
  • Single-user today, with no team features
  • Losing the recovery phrase means re-entering every key
  • Routing subscription logins may conflict with some provider terms
  • Very young product with little public track record

Common use cases

  1. 1Running Codex or OpenCode on a Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for
  2. 2Falling back to a local Ollama model when a cloud plan hits its five-hour limit
  3. 3Sharing one memory between several coding agents on the same project
  4. 4Managing provider keys for multiple machines from one dashboard
  5. 5Tracking usage of the ChatGPT Mac app alongside other clients

Best for

Individual developers who pay for several AI plans and want every coding agent to use them through one endpoint with automatic fallback.

Not ideal for

Teams that need a self-hosted, governed gateway or pay-per-token access to many models without accounts (LiteLLM, OpenRouter).

Integrations

  • Claude Code
  • OpenAI Codex
  • OpenCode
  • ChatGPT Mac app
  • Raycast
  • Ollama
  • LM Studio
  • Grok Build

Our take

OpenLLM is worth trying if rate limits on one AI plan regularly stop your coding agent, since the free tier already covers fallback chains and local models. Pay for Pro only once you need more devices or the hosted gateway, and wait for team features before rolling it out to a company.
