What is GoModel?

GoModel sits between your applications and model providers. It accepts requests in OpenAI format at /v1 and in Anthropic format at /v1/messages, so the official SDKs keep working once their base URL points at the gateway. Behind that endpoint it adds exact and semantic response caching, per-request cost estimates, hard budgets per user, team or key, rate limits, failover with circuit breakers, model allowlists and guardrails. A dashboard shows spending, live requests and a playground, and the gateway also exports Prometheus metrics and OpenTelemetry traces. It can aggregate MCP servers behind one endpoint too.

Good fit if

  • You pay for several model providers and want spending caps and usage reports in one place.
  • Your apps already use the OpenAI or Anthropic SDKs and you want to add caching or backup providers without code changes.
  • You prefer a single Go binary or container over a Python service.

Look elsewhere if

  • You want a chat interface for people rather than an API layer: Open WebUI or LibreChat.
  • You need a gateway with a longer track record and a Python SDK: LiteLLM.
  • You want to serve open models on your own GPUs: vLLM.

Before you adopt it

The gateway is MIT-licensed and no paid code was found in the repository. ENTERPILOT also sells GoModel Pro, a separate commercial build that adds prompt compression, intelligent routing and OIDC single sign-on for the dashboard. The project is young: the repository dates from December 2025 and the latest release is v0.2.1. Ten people committed in the last 90 days, but one author wrote most of that code. Docker images, builds for Windows, Linux and macOS, and a Helm chart are available; the full Compose stack uses Redis, PostgreSQL and MongoDB.
