The router re-audits that math every two weeks and flags 15 of its own provider pools as terms-of-service risks.
Why now: The figures are current as of the August 3 count, the same week a smaller rival, arcships/aimux, launched into the same free-router lane.
OmniRoute publishes a token count for its free tier that moves every two weeks instead of a fixed marketing figure, per the project's GitHub page.
That number can drop as fast as it climbs, since the total leans on unpaid capacity providers can pull back anytime. Anyone building on OmniRoute's free tier is trusting an audited estimate, not a fixed budget.
The open-source router sits in front of more than 290 providers and 500 models behind one API endpoint. Its free tier draws from 516 models across 43 provider pools. At steady state that pool holds roughly 1.53 billion tokens a month, according to the project's own audited figures.
In a user's first month, signup credits push the total as high as 2.15 billion tokens before it settles to the steady 1.53 billion rate. OmniRoute re-audits the math every two weeks and says so explicitly, rather than letting the number go stale and get quoted as fact anyway.
Fifteen provider pools carry a terms-of-service risk flag, per the project, rather than a silent route-through. It leaves the decision to use them up to the user.
This free-router lane is still adding entrants, not settling around one winner. arcships/aimux launched the same week in Rust, claiming a unified layer over 325 providers.
It has picked up only 150 stars against OmniRoute's 38,355, up 7,141 in the past week alone.

v0.1.117, tagged August 28 one day after v0.1.116 and pushed again today, is an MIT-licensed Rust tool that turns Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode into research agents that propose an idea, change code, launch an experiment and inspect evidence in a loop. Each run gets an isolat...
akitaonrails/ai-memory (1,229 stars, +184 this week, MIT, Rust, 900 commits) inverts the usual design: hooks emit sanitized lifecycle observations during a session, and the server compiles them into coherent wiki pages at session end or PreCompact, "compiled from observations...
Spotify's Portal team published Xirp on August 10: a vendor-neutral agentic development environment that manages concurrent sessions across Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex, each session isolated in its own git worktree so dozens of agents can work the same codebase without...
cristicretu/diri (217 stars, Rust, Apache-2.0, pushed August 7) runs multiple coding agents and shells concurrently across worktrees and remote hosts. Worktree isolation is the mechanism keeping parallel agents from clobbering each other's edits, and it's the correct primitive...
