Despite the name, OpenRouter's core isn't truly open. I’m building open-next-router (ONR) to change that.

Inspired by Nginx’s atomic configuration philosophy, ONR allows developers to integrate and switch between various LLM channels through simple config files rather than writing boilerplate code. The goal is to move away from "hard-coded integrations" and toward a modular, high-performance routing layer.

I'm aiming to build the "Nginx for the LLM era." It’s still in the early stages, and I’d love to get feedback from the community or collaborate with anyone interested in the future of open LLM infrastructure.
