An AI gateway and control plane written in Go, serving as an alternative to LiteLLM with observability, guardrails, and intelligent routing. gomodel.enterpilot.io ↗

Facts

DescriptionGoModel is an open-source AI gateway, positioned as a self-hosted alternative to OpenRouter, providing OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs in front of 31 model providers. It handles provider routing, virtual model aliases, load balancing, automatic failover, response caching, rate limits, cost budgets, guardrails, and per-request usage and audit logging. It ships as a single Go binary with an embedded admin UI, SQLite/Postgres/MongoDB storage, and paid Pro add-ons (prompt compression, intelligent routing, OIDC SSO, quota templates).

Dossier · model-written summary

GoModel is an MIT-licensed, open-source AI gateway written in Go, positioned as a lighter, faster alternative to LiteLLM and Portkey. The core open-source tier is free and feature-rich, which is genuinely compelling for developer adoption, but the commercial Pro tier is from a single-product startup (enterpilot, Inc.) with no publicly named enterprise customers, no disclosed funding, and no verifiable SOC2 or compliance certifications -- all significant red flags for a large enterprise betting on it as a control plane. Performance benchmarks cited are self-produced by the vendor and have not been independently validated. The project has ~1.2k GitHub stars and is under active development, but critical enterprise features like cluster mode, audit-log export, and secret-manager integrations are still on the roadmap, meaning the product is not yet at enterprise-grade parity on those dimensions.
