|
|
|
**A universal LLM gateway with intelligent routing.**
|
|
One OpenAI-compatible endpoint → automatic model selection from your pool
|
|
(cheap local + expensive hosted) based on the task type and complexity decided by
|
|
[allaigate / cortiq-router](https://api.allaigate.com).
|
|
|
|
> In your agent/SDK you only change `base_url` — and you get "smart" routing across
|
|
> models. No model-selection logic on the client side.
|

## ✨ Highlights
|
|
|
|
- **Drop-in OpenAI API.** Point any OpenAI client at the gateway and send `model: "cortiq-auto"`.
|
|
- **Intelligent routing.** `complexity.tier` → ordered model pool (`low → local`, `high → cloud`), with fallback and graceful degradation when the router is down.
|
|
- **Built-in multilingual admin console.** Manage models, routing, protocols, keys and secrets from a web UI — **no hand-editing TOML, no restart** (changes are hot-reloaded). Available in **7 languages** (en, ru, de, fr, es, zh, tr) with light/dark themes.
|
|
- **Live analytics.** Per-request stats (tokens, cost, latency, success rate, failovers), time-series charts, breakdowns by model/tier/task, and a Prometheus `GET /metrics` endpoint.
|
|
- **Playground.** Send a prompt through the live pipeline and inspect the routing decision.
|
|
- **Single self-contained binary.** The SPA is embedded into the Rust binary — nothing extra to deploy.
|
|
- **Secrets stay in the gateway.** Agents hold only a virtual gateway key; provider keys live in the gateway and never leak to clients.

## 🖥️ Admin console
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The gateway ships with an embedded web console at **`/admin`**:
|
|
|
|
| | |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
|  |  |
|
|
| **Models** — add/edit/probe models, manage provider keys | **Routing** — visual tier editor (ordered, drag-to-reorder) |
|
|
|  |  |
|
|
| **Playground** — test the live pipeline, see the decision | **Dashboard** — traffic, cost, latency analytics |
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo run --release -- --config config/gateway.toml --admin-token <YOUR_TOKEN>
|
|
# open http://localhost:9000/admin?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If `--admin-token` / `[admin].token_env` are not set, a token is generated at startup
|
|
and printed to the log. All `/admin/api/*` endpoints require a Bearer admin token;
|
|
secret values are never returned by the API (only their presence: `store` / `env` / `missing`).
|
|

|
## 🚀 Quick start
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 1. start a router (the hosted allaigate router, or a local cortiq-router)
|
|
# it listens e.g. on http://localhost:8080 (or https://api.allaigate.com)
|
|
|
|
# 2. describe your model pool
|
|
cp config/gateway.example.toml config/gateway.toml
|
|
$EDITOR config/gateway.toml
|
|
|
|
# 3. run the gateway
|
|
cargo run --release -- --config config/gateway.toml
|
|
# Gateway listens on 0.0.0.0:9000 and serves the admin console at /admin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now any OpenAI client works through the gateway:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from openai import OpenAI
|
|
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:9000/v1", api_key="sk-gw-...")
|
|
|
|
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
|
|
model="cortiq-auto", # ← magic model = "choose for me"
|
|
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Solve x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0"}],
|
|
)
|
|
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
|
|
# response headers show what the gateway picked:
|
|
# X-Cortiq-Task-Label: math
|
|
# X-Cortiq-Complexity-Tier: low
|
|
# X-Cortiq-Selected-Model: local-qwen
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`model: "cortiq-auto"` enables routing. Any **real** model name from the config
|
|
(`"gpt-4o-mini"`, `"local-qwen"`) is a direct passthrough, without routing.
|
|
|
|
> **Using the hosted allaigate router?** Set `url = "https://138.226.222.209"`,
|
|
> `verify_tls = false`, `taxonomy_id = "data-assistant"`, and a `cortiq_…` key in
|
|
> `CORTIQ_ROUTER_KEY`. On hard prompts the router escalates to an oracle (~10 s), so
|
|
> set `timeout_ms = 12000+` — otherwise the gateway gracefully degrades to the default model.
|

## Request flow
|
|
|
|
1. Client → `POST /v1/chat/completions` (or Anthropic/MCP) with `model: "cortiq-auto"`.
|
|
2. The gateway extracts the **text to route on** (strategy is configurable, see [docs/ROUTING.md](docs/ROUTING.md)).
|
|
3. Gateway → `cortiq-router /v1/route` → gets `task_label` + `complexity.tier`.
|
|
4. Gateway selects a model from the pool via the routing table (with a fallback order).
|
|
5. Gateway → the selected model's provider (translating the protocol if needed), returns the response.
|
|
6. Gateway attaches routing metadata in headers/`usage` and records cost & statistics.

## Supported protocols (inbound)
|
|
|
|
Each adapter is toggled in the config — take only what you need.
|
|
|
|
| Protocol | Endpoint | Status |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| OpenAI Chat Completions | `POST /v1/chat/completions` | ✅ implemented |
|
|
| OpenAI Completions (legacy) | `POST /v1/completions` | planned |
|
|
| OpenAI Embeddings | `POST /v1/embeddings` | planned |
|
|
| OpenAI Models | `GET /v1/models` | planned |
|
|
| Anthropic Messages | `POST /v1/messages` | planned |
|
|
| MCP (Model Context Protocol) | JSON-RPC / SSE | planned |
|
|
| Native passthrough | `POST /route` | planned |
|
|
|
|
## Supported providers (outbound)
|
|
|
|
| Provider | Covers |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `openai` (OpenAI-compatible) | OpenAI, OpenRouter, Together, Groq, **vLLM, llama.cpp server, LM Studio, Ollama (`/v1`)** |
|
|
| `anthropic` | Claude Messages API (planned) |
|
|
| `ollama` | native Ollama API |
|
|
| `http` | arbitrary HTTP endpoint (custom adapter) |
|
|
|
|
Most local servers already expose an OpenAI-compatible API — so the `openai`
|
|
adapter makes the gateway **universal** with almost no effort.

## Configuration
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
listen = "0.0.0.0:9000"
|
|
|
|
[router]
|
|
url = "http://localhost:8080"
|
|
api_key_env = "CORTIQ_ROUTER_KEY"
|
|
|
|
[[models]]
|
|
id = "local-qwen"
|
|
provider = "openai"
|
|
base_url = "http://localhost:8000/v1"
|
|
model = "qwen2.5-7b-instruct"
|
|
cost_tier = "cheap"
|
|
|
|
[[models]]
|
|
id = "claude-opus"
|
|
provider = "anthropic"
|
|
base_url = "https://api.anthropic.com"
|
|
model = "claude-opus-4"
|
|
api_key_env = "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"
|
|
cost_tier = "expensive"
|
|
|
|
[routing]
|
|
low = ["local-qwen"]
|
|
high = ["claude-opus", "local-qwen"]
|
|
default = "local-qwen"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Full example — [config/gateway.example.toml](config/gateway.example.toml).
|
|
Routing & cost-aware selection — [docs/ROUTING.md](docs/ROUTING.md).
|
|
Everything in the config is also editable from the admin console at runtime.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Cross-standards (like grown-up APIs)
|
|
|
|
- **Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer sk-gw-...` (virtual gateway keys).
|
|
- **Errors:** OpenAI-compatible `{"error": {...}}` envelope — parsed natively by SDKs.
|
|
- **Routing metadata:** `X-Cortiq-*` headers on every response.
|
|
- **Cost accounting:** token usage + USD cost and the selected model.
|
|
- **Observability:** `GET /metrics` (Prometheus), `GET /healthz`, `GET /readyz`.
|
|
|
|
Details — [docs/PROTOCOLS.md](docs/PROTOCOLS.md).
