Overview

Hi, I’m Jakub, a solo founder based in Warsaw. I’ve been building GoModel since December with a couple of contributors. It’s an open-source AI gateway that sits between your app and model providers like OpenAI, Anthropic or others.

Use Cases

I built it for my startup to solve a few problems:

  • Track AI usage and cost per client or team
  • Switch models without changing app code
  • Debug request flows more easily
  • Reduce AI spendings with exact and semantic caching

Features

  • ~17 MB Docker image (LiteLLM’s image is more than 44× bigger: docker.litellm.ai/berriai/litellm:latest ~ 746 MB on amd64)
  • Request workflow is visible and easy to inspect
  • Config is environment-variable-first by default
