GoRoute

GoRoute is an ultra-lightweight LLM gateway and multi-provider router for coding agents.

GoRoute is a single-binary LLM gateway engineered for developers using autonomous AI coding agents like OpenCode, Claude Code, Cursor, and Aider. It replaces bloated proxies with a 5.1MB footprint, delivering multi-provider pooling, Google Antigravity OAuth rotation, and Anthropic-to-OpenAI protocol normalization. The tool runs on a zero-alloc in-memory cache and provides a smart quota cascade to handle exhausted limits automatically. It supports dual-protocol gateways, multimodal vision, and vector embeddings proxies. Developers can install it via npm, a native installer, or the Go toolchain.
