## About

UnoRouter is a gateway for large language models that exposes the same API shape as OpenAI. Anything that already talks to OpenAI, from the official SDKs to coding agents, can point its base URL at UnoRouter and keep working.

Behind that endpoint sits a single key for Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen and a long list of open weight models. You pick the model by name in the request; UnoRouter handles the vendor specific details.

Providers fail in ordinary ways: timeouts, rate limits, short outages. When that happens, UnoRouter retries the request on another provider that serves the same model, so a long Claude Code, Cline or SillyTavern session does not stop halfway through.

You can start on the free models without paying anything, then move to pay as you go for the paid ones. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum.

The project is open source on GitHub. It also includes a local first chat app for people who simply want to talk to different models in one place, with conversations kept in the browser.

Most routers either lock you into one vendor or make you manage separate keys and outages yourself. UnoRouter keeps the familiar OpenAI request format, adds automatic failover across providers, and lets you begin on free models before paying per use. The code is public, so you can read exactly how requests are routed.

Problem
Using several model vendors means juggling separate keys, SDKs, billing pages and outages, and an agent session dies whenever one provider has a bad minute.

Solution
One OpenAI compatible endpoint and key covers many vendors, and requests that fail on one provider are retried on another automatically, so tools keep running.
