Show HN: Aisbf, a self-hostable OpenAI-compatible AI proxy/router

AISBF is a self-hostable AI proxy/router that exposes an OpenAI-compatible API while letting you route across different providers and model pools.

I built it to make multi-provider AI setups less chaotic: centralize access, add routing/failover/caching, support multi-user setups, and make it easier to scale from a small deployment to clustered infrastructure.

Happy to answer questions about architecture, routing logic, tradeoffs, and where it differs from simpler proxy layers.

Are you for real with this design? :/ I mean common, literally I did better HTML websites at 9 years old. This is zero effort and does not deserve to be on HN.

It's a bit strange because you are selling an LLM product but literally ANY model post 2025 would ZEROSHOT a better page than this. Also the website have shady ToS and so-on. PS: It's Tor, not TOR (it matters because you promote it immediately, which shows some sort of importance around it).

I can already predict that this will be defunct very soon, have you checked the competition? It's just about 100 times better than this.

are you for real with this critique? out of a proxy/router packed full of functionalities that is also open source and self-hostable what you are looking at is the html of the demo service website that, by the way, has been written by gpt-5.5 ( so yes, an frontier llm did it )

You know when they say "when i point the moon you are looking at the finger"?

The output of the model is human responsibility, this isn't the model's webpage design, it's yours (it also show that proper UI/UX guidelines have not been given in the instructions). And this is important because you offer a commercial service.

In this era, people don't blindly trust "open-source", so the frontpage/identity does matter, a lot.

still, you are commenting about a web page of a demo of an open source project instead to look at the project, you lame :)

and you are confusing a demo with a "commercial project". Look at the moon, not at the finger. Have a good life and if and when you will have any relevant comment or real critique, i will listen to you. PLONK.
