Show HN: A minimalist proxy for your local LLM cluster (~1100 lines)
smol-llm-proxy A small API proxy for self-hosted llama.cpp setups. Routes across multiple llama-server instances, per-user API keys, token usage tracking. In-memory rate limiting (RPM/TPM) with async SQLite flush. ~0.13 ms is proxy logic (per-request), the 2–4 ms end-to-end figure includes the FastAPI/uvicorn/httpx baseline and asyncio event-loop contention at high concurrency. <=1100 code lines, ~53 MB RAM.

In-memory rate limiting (RPM/TPM) with async SQLite flush. ~0.13 ms is proxy logic (per-request), the 2–4 ms end-to-end figure includes the FastAPI/uvicorn/httpx baseline and asyncio event-loop contention at high concurrency. <=1100 code lines, ~53 MB RAM. Built for the case where you run multiple llama-server instances (different models, different GPUs) and want to share them across users with token tracking. What it is not smol-llm-proxy is built for one specific case: multiple llama-server instances, multiple users, per-user token accounting.
