Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

awesome-ai-gateway CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CLAUDE.md — working rules for this repository

Read this before changing anything here. It states what the project is for, so that edits can be judged against a goal instead of taste.

What this repository is

awesome-ai-gateway is not a link dump. It is meant to be the integration point for the AI-gateway space: one place where a visitor can see the whole landscape — open-source projects, hosted services, relays, the protocols they translate, and the evidence behind every claim — without having to trust a vendor.

The two goals — judge every change against these

Goal 1 — a visitor understands the space at a glance. Within the first screen and a few clicks, a reader should get three things:

  1. The state of play — what exists, what consolidated, what died, what is actually maintained. Not a catalogue: a picture.
  2. How to choose — the decision path from their requirement to a specific name, with the trade-off stated.
  3. Where it is heading — the direction of travel, with dated evidence and a stated way to be proven wrong.

If a change does not make one of those three clearer, it is decoration. Length is not value: a section that makes the first screen slower to read is a net loss even if every sentence in it is true.

Goal 2 — grow stars and users, because that is the honest signal of Goal 1. Stars are not vanity here; they are the proxy for "this actually helped someone choose." So optimise for the things that earn a star from an engineer in a hurry:

  • A reusable artifact beats a list entry (a rubric, a computed table, a reproducible test, a calculator). People star what they will come back to.
  • A number nobody else publishes beats a paraphrased vendor claim.
  • Being right when it is inconvenient — naming an archived project, a CVE, a stale vendor promise — is what makes the rest of the list credible.

Never chase the metric directly: no star-for-star, no reciprocal-listing deals, no inflating entry counts. Those raise the number and destroy the reason it means anything.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
