One provider should not be able to stop an entire agent workflow. The model is becoming interchangeable. The routing layer is becoming infrastructure. 9router: • Free and open-source • Runs locally on your machine • Install/run with `npx 9router` • Includes a web UI and terminal UI • Works as one endpoint for AI coding agents • Automatically falls back when one route fails or hits a limit • Can prioritize routes or distribute requests across approved accounts • Makes it easier to mix free quotas with cheap API fallbacks • Includes (optional) RTK, Headroom, Caveman and Ponytail context saving settings inbuilt • 9Router claims 20–40% lower input-token usage • You could potentially expose it across your devices with something like Tailscale My actual result: • Provider import was easy • Running 9Router took one command • Open-source harnesses should be relatively straightforward • Claude Code was more difficult
