freerouter 0.1.5

Free LLM Router Service based on LiteLLM

FreeRouter

🛠️ LiteLLM Configuration Management Tool - Automated Multi-Provider Configuration Generation

What is this?

FreeRouter is a configuration management tool for LiteLLM.

Core Features:

• 📋 Automatically fetch model lists from Provider APIs
• ⚙️ Generate LiteLLM config.yaml configuration files
• 🚀 One-command startup of LiteLLM service

Important:

• FreeRouter does not provide AI services; all APIs and routing are provided by LiteLLM
• Recommend reading LiteLLM Documentation first
• If you're familiar with writing LiteLLM configs manually, you may not need FreeRouter
