OpenLLM

Tomorrow: Open-Source AI in Practice with OpenLLM. OpenLLM is building a way to put the models you already pay for behind one developer interface. Instead of maintaining separate integrations for Claude, ChatGPT, Kimi, custom endpoints, and other providers, OpenLLM provides OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs, routing and fallback chains across providers, and tooling designed to work across your app, IDE, and CLI. For subscription-backed providers, OpenLLM’s local daemon delegates to the vendors’ official CLIs on your machine, so subscription credentials stay local rather than being sent through Open LLM’s servers. Their GitHub stack also includes: • Protocol — shared runtime contracts • Wire — transforms between Anthropic, OpenAI, and Responses formats • Tunnel — consumer ↔ relay ↔ daemon transport • Daemon — local runtime for subscription-backed providers • CLI — openllmc, including an MCP gateway, semantic search, and memory Tomorrow’s workshop will get into the practical side of building with this kind of infrastructure: model routing, agentic workflows, evaluation, reliability, and how developers can build on and contribute to the Open LLM stack. If you’re an AI engineer, software developer, technical founder, researcher, student, or just someone building aggressively with Claude/ChatGPT and wondering why every model needs a different integration — come build with us.
