I built Manifest, an open source LLM router that reduces AI costs

Manifest is an open source LLM router that helps you to use AI efficiently:

- Isolate each request to attach specific models to it
- Smart routing based on complexity and specificity
- Track every dollar, setup notifications and limits
- Fallback on different models

It works in Cloud or self-hosted version. Works with custom providers, pro subscriptions and local models.

Happy tinkering!
