Jakub, a solo founder from Warsaw, has released GoModel, an open-source AI gateway that sits between applications and model providers. The project addresses cost tracking, model switching, and caching optimization.

GoModel acts as an intermediary layer for AI model interactions, supporting providers like OpenAI and Anthropic. The gateway enables developers to track usage and costs per client or team, switch between models without modifying application code, and streamline request debugging. Key features include exact and semantic caching to reduce spending, and a lightweight ~17MB Docker image for easy deployment. Built since December with community contributions, GoModel targets teams seeking better visibility and control over AI infrastructure costs. The tool addresses a practical gap for startups and enterprises managing multiple AI integrations. By centralizing model interactions through a single gateway, organizations can optimize spend and simplify multi-model strategies without rewriting application logic.
