Not $6/month per model—$6 total for unlimited inference across Mistral, Llama, and Qwen. This isn't theoretical. I deployed this exact setup last week.

The API compatibility: 100% drop-in replacement for OpenAI's chat completions endpoint. Here's what you're getting: a production-grade LiteLLM proxy that sits between your application and multiple open-source models, intelligently routes requests based on latency/cost/capability, and costs roughly 1/120th of what you're paying now. No vendor lock-in. No rate limits.…
