I run CrowLLM: one OpenAI-compatible endpoint in front of every major AI provider

Description and use

CrowLLM offers a single OpenAI‑compatible endpoint that aggregates multiple AI providers, providing failover, transparent pricing, and free access for small builders.

Problem

Free users and small builders face slow replies, tiny limits, and long waits when using major AI providers, making it hard to access good models without a corporate budget.

Outcome

CrowLLM reduces complexity, provides failover, transparent pricing, and free access, enabling small builders to use high‑quality models without corporate budgets.

Workflow

• 1. Sign in with Discord to obtain a CrowLLM key.
• 2. Send requests to https://crowllm.com/v1/chat/completions with the desired model name in the JSON body.
• 3. CrowLLM routes the request to the selected provider, retries on failure, and returns the response in OpenAI format.
• 4. Optionally use /v1/messages for Anthropic format or count_tokens.
• 5. Monitor usage and pricing via the public status page or the paid monthly pass for higher limits.

Evidence

One base URL. OpenAI-compatible format. You change the model string, not your code.

Source

Free forever, no card, no trial timer. Sign in with Discord and you can try them right away.

Source

Failover is real, not a badge. A request that fails upstream is retried on another channel serving the same model.
