  1. Portkey (Palo Alto Networks)

    AI gateway and LLMOps platform: one API to 1,600+ models with fallbacks, caching, guardrails, cost tracking and prompt management.

    Also: Cost Optimization, LLM Gateway, Open Source

  2. An open-source proxy that sits between your coding agent and the model, compressing tool schemas, file reads and stale history to cut token bills.

    Also: Cost Optimization, LLM Gateway, Open Source

  3. Secure cloud sandboxes where AI agents can run untrusted code safely, starting in milliseconds.

    Also: Open Source, Python, Self-Hosted

  4. IBM (DataStax)

    Open-source, MIT-licensed visual builder for AI agents, RAG apps and MCP servers, maintained by IBM's DataStax and extensible in Python.

    Also: Open Source, Python, Self-Hosted

  5. HKUDS

    Open-source, self-hosted personal AI agent you run yourself — browser UI, terminal or your chat apps, with memory, MCP tools and scheduled automations.

    Also: Open Source, Python, Self-Hosted

  6. One API and one bill for hundreds of language models, with automatic failover between providers.

    Also: Cost Optimization, LLM Gateway

  7. One API for agent harnesses — run Codex, Claude Code or Hermes behind your product with shared sessions, streaming, files and cost controls, and swap harness with a config change.

    Also: Cost Optimization, LLM Gateway

  8. ngrok

    A hosted LLM gateway from ngrok: one base URL and one key for public providers, your own keys and self-hosted models, with failover, scoped access and cost analytics.

    Also: Cost Optimization, LLM Gateway

  9. Free, open-source local MCP gateway: register each server once, share it with every AI client, and cut tool-definition tokens by up to 91%.

    Also: Cost Optimization, Open Source

  10. Abhishek Iyer

    A local, keyboard-driven diff viewer built for the huge changes coding agents produce - and it remembers what you have already seen.

    Also: Open Source, Python

  11. The framework and observability platform most teams use to build, debug, and ship LLM agents.

    Also: Open Source, Python

  12. Vectify AI

    A vectorless RAG engine that builds a tree index of long PDFs and lets an LLM reason its way to the right section, with page-level citations.

    Also: Open Source, Python

  13. Open-source LLM observability — trace, evaluate, and improve AI applications with production data.

    Also: Open Source, Python

  14. The multi-agent framework where agents have roles and collaborate as a crew — plus a platform to run them in production.

    Also: Open Source, Python

  15. All Hands AI

    OpenHands — the leading open-source coding agent platform, self-hostable or run in the cloud.

    Also: Open Source, Self-Hosted

  16. Jun Kim

    Menu-bar LLM inference server for Apple Silicon, with continuous batching and tiered KV caching that keeps local models fast enough for real coding work.

    Also: Open Source, Self-Hosted

  17. Roo Code

    Self-hostable cloud coding agent from the Roo Code team — investigates repos, verifies its own work and opens pull requests, driven from Slack, Teams, Discord or Telegram rather than an IDE.

    Also: Open Source, Self-Hosted

  18. A self-hosted, feature-rich chat interface that puts a polished front end on Ollama and any OpenAI-compatible API.

    Also: Open Source, Self-Hosted

  19. OpenClaw Foundation

    Open-source personal AI assistant that runs on your own machine and answers from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, iMessage and 25 other chat apps.

    Also: Open Source, Self-Hosted

  20. Cloudflare

    Open-source AI workspace you deploy into your own Cloudflare account: agent chat wired to company context, sandboxed app building, and policy guardrails.
