Why AnyModel

The simplest way to use any model.

⚡

One command

No cloning repos. No building from source. No dependency installs.
npx anymodel — that's it.

🌐

3 providers, 1 proxy

OpenRouter (300+ cloud models), Ollama (local/offline), or any OpenAI-compatible API. Switch with a flag.

🔒

Your key, your machine

Nothing stored server-side. Your API key goes directly to the provider. Open source — verify it yourself.

⚙

Zero dependencies

Pure Node.js built-ins. No node_modules, no supply chain risk, no bloat. ~8KB published.

🧩

Full ecosystem

Skills, MCP servers, hooks, slash commands — the entire Claude Code ecosystem works out of the box. No compromises.

How It Works

Two terminals. Any model.

Get a free OpenRouter API key (no credit card for free models), then:

1 Start the proxy with a model:
Terminal 1 — Proxy
$ OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-... \ npx anymodel proxy deepseek ↔ Proxy on :9090 → OpenRouter Model: deepseek/deepseek-r1
2 Connect:
Terminal 2
$ npx anymodel ✓ Connected to proxy on :9090 AnyModel running (deepseek-r1)

The model is set on the proxy. AnyModel just connects to it. Works offline with Ollama too.

Free Models

29 free models via OpenRouter. $0 cost. Use --free-only to restrict.

Smart Retries

Exponential backoff, 3 attempts. Handles 429 and 5xx errors gracefully.

Token Auth

Secure your proxy with --token. Protect shared deployments from unauthorized use.

Rate Limiting

60 req/min default, configurable with --rpm. Protects shared deployments.

Documentation

Everything you need to know.

Complete reference for installation, providers, configuration, and API.

Environment Variables

OPENROUTER_API_KEY Your OpenRouter API key
OPENROUTER_MODEL Default model override
PROXY_PORT Proxy listen port (default: 9090)

AnyModel auto-loads .env from the current directory.

Health Endpoint

GET /health

Response:
{
  "status": "ok",
  "version": "1.6.12",
  "provider": "openrouter",
  "model": "deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528",
  "uptime": 3600.5,
  "timestamp": "2026-04-02T10:30:00Z"
}

Request Routing

/v1/messages → Routed to your chosen provider
/v1/* → Passed through to the model provider
/health → Returns proxy status JSON

The proxy sanitizes request bodies: strips betas, metadata, thinking, cache_control, and normalizes tool_choice for cross-provider compatibility.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is AnyModel free?

AnyModel itself is free and open source (MIT). OpenRouter offers free models (marked FREE in the preset table) at $0 cost — no credit card needed. Paid models like GPT-5.4 and Gemini 3.1 cost per-token through your own OpenRouter account.

Is my API key safe?

Yes. Your OpenRouter key stays on your machine. The proxy runs locally — nothing is stored, logged, or sent to AnyModel servers. The code is open source so you can verify this yourself.

Which model should I use for coding?

Best paid: openai/gpt-5.3-codex — OpenAI's frontier coding model. Use preset codex.
Best free: qwen/qwen3-coder:free — 480B MoE, excellent at code. Use preset qwen.
Best reasoning: deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528 — chain-of-thought. Use preset deepseek.
Best local: google/gemma-4-31b-it — 256K context, runs via Ollama.

What are presets?

Presets are short names for popular models. Instead of typing --model deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528, just use npx anymodel proxy deepseek. See the preset table above for the full list.

Can I run multiple models at once?

Yes. Start each proxy on a different port: npx anymodel proxy --port 9090 --model openai/gpt-5.4 and npx anymodel proxy --port 9091 --model deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528. Then connect to either with npx anymodel --port 9090.

Can I use it fully offline?

Yes. Use Ollama for local models: ollama pull gemma3n, then npx anymodel proxy ollama --model gemma3n. No internet, no API key — everything stays on your machine.

Do I need to install anything?

npx anymodel works without installing — npm downloads it on the fly. Or install globally: npm i -g anymodel. Both work the same way.

What does the proxy actually do?

AnyModel strips Anthropic-specific fields (cache_control, betas, thinking), normalizes tool_choice, handles retries with exponential backoff, and forwards the cleaned request to OpenRouter or Ollama. The response streams back unchanged.
