Open-source AI gateway in Go. One OpenAI-compatible API for every provider, with budgets, caching, guardrails, load balancing, and failover. Single binary, ~20MB docker image MIT, bring your own keys. A self-hosted alternative to OpenRouter and LiteLLM.
I'm Jakub - a solo founder from Warsaw. This is my 1st Product Hunt launch.
The story behind GoModel is simple. In October last year I wanted to use an AI gateway for my startup. I noticed that the first solution of its kind - LiteLLM - has serious quality problems (500+ unexplainable issues in production) and a fundamental one - Python is not the right tool for proxy-like software. So I decided to write one.
That's how GoModel was born, and I've been working on it full-time since December 2025.
