Lightport is a lightweight open-source AI gateway that translates OpenAI-compatible API requests to over 77 different LLM providers, simplifying integration with diverse AI models. It focuses narrowly on request/response transformation, intentionally excluding retries, caching, and other operational features, making it a focused tool for developers needing a simple proxy. While not groundbreaking, its large provider support and clear scope fill a practical niche.
