Overview

GoModel is a Go AI gateway (install script or container on port 8080) exposing OpenAI-compatible /v1 and Anthropic /v1/messages endpoints in front of OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Azure, Ollama, vLLM, SGLang and more. It adds exact and semantic caching, cost tracking, budgets, rate limits, failover, an MCP gateway, guardrails and a dashboard with playground. Compose adds Redis, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Prometheus.

Who it is for: teams wanting a lightweight gateway with cost controls

Strengths

  • Single Go binary or container; official OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs work unchanged
  • Budgets, rate limits, cost tracking and a usage API per user, team or key
  • Exact and semantic caching, failover with circuit breakers, provider key rotation
  • Dashboard with playground, live request stream, Prometheus and OpenTelemetry

Weaknesses

  • Prompt compression, intelligent routing and OIDC SSO are in the paid Pro build
  • Pre-1.0; roadmap points to an upcoming 0.2.0 release
  • Full Compose stack pulls in Redis, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Prometheus
  • Benchmarks against LiteLLM and Portkey are self-run

What it needs

  • no GPU
  • Docker + Compose
  • Needs Redis, PostgreSQL, MongoDB (Compose infrastructure)
  • Models: OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Gemini, Vertex AI, Cohere, DeepSeek, Groq, Fireworks, OpenRouter, Azure OpenAI, Bedrock, Ollama, SGLang, vLLM, llm-d, ElevenLabs and any OpenAI-compatible provider
  • port 8080
