LLMIO

English | 中文

LLMIO is a Go-based LLM load‑balancing gateway that provides a unified REST API, weighted scheduling, logging, and a modern admin UI for LLM clients (openclaw / claude code / codex / gemini cli / cherry studio / open webui). It helps you integrate OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and other model capabilities in a single service.

Architecture

Features

• Unified API: Compatible with OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, Gemini Native, and Anthropic Messages. Supports both streaming and non‑streaming passthrough.
• Weighted scheduling: balancers/ provides two strategies (random by weight / priority by weight). You can route based on tool calling, structured output, and multimodal capability.
• Admin Web UI: React + TypeScript + Tailwind + Vite console for providers, models, associations, logs, and metrics.
• Rate limiting & failure handling: Built‑in rate‑limit fallback and provider connectivity checks for fault isolation.
• Local persistence: Pure Go SQLite (db/llmio.db) for config and request logs, ready to use out of the box.

Deployment

Docker Compose (Recommended)

services:
  llmio:
    image: atopos31/llmio:latest
    ports:
      - 7070:7070
    volumes:
      - ./db:/app/db
    environment:
      - GIN_MODE=release
      - TOKEN=<YOUR_TOKEN>
      - TZ=Asia/Shanghai

docker compose up -d

Docker

docker run -d \
  --name llmio \
  -p 7070:7070 \
  -v $(pwd)/db:/app/db \
  -e GIN_MODE=release \
  -e TOKEN=<YOUR_TOKEN> \
  -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \
  atopos31/llmio:latest

Local Run

Download the release package for your OS/arch from releases (version > 0.5.13). Example for linux amd64:

wget https://github.com/atopos31/llmio/releases/download/v0.5.13/llmio_0.5.13_linux_amd64.tar.gz

Extract:

tar -xzf ./llmio_0.5.13_linux_amd64.tar.gz

Start:

GIN_MODE=release TOKEN=<YOUR_TOKEN> ./llmio

The service will create ./db/llmio.db in the current directory as the SQLite persistence file.

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Default	Notes
TOKEN	Console login and API auth for /openai /anthropic /gemini /v1	None	Required for public access
GIN_MODE	Gin runtime mode	debug	Use release in production
LLMIO_SERVER_PORT	Server listen port	7070	Service listen port
TZ	Timezone for logs and scheduling	Host default	Recommend explicit setting in containers (e.g. Asia/Shanghai)
DB_VACUUM	Run SQLite VACUUM on startup	Disabled	Set to true to reclaim space

Development

Clone:

git clone https://github.com/atopos31/llmio.git
cd llmio

Build frontend (pnpm required):

make webui

Run backend (Go >= 1.26.1):

TOKEN=<YOUR_TOKEN> make run

Web UI: http://localhost:7070/

API Endpoints

LLMIO provides a multi‑provider REST API with the following endpoints:

Provider	Path	Method	Description	Auth
OpenAI	/openai/v1/models	GET	List available models	Bearer Token
OpenAI	/openai/v1/chat/completions	POST	Create chat completion	Bearer Token
OpenAI	/openai/v1/responses	POST	Create response	Bearer Token
Anthropic	/anthropic/v1/models	GET	List available models	x-api-key
Anthropic	/anthropic/v1/messages	POST	Create message	x-api-key
Anthropic	/anthropic/v1/messages/count_tokens	POST	Count tokens	x-api-key
Gemini	/gemini/v1beta/models	GET	List available models	x-goog-api-key
Gemini	/gemini/v1beta/models/{model}:generateContent	POST	Generate content	x-goog-api-key
Gemini	/gemini/v1beta/models/{model}:streamGenerateContent	POST	Stream content	x-goog-api-key
Generic	/v1/models	GET	List models (compat)	Bearer Token
Generic	/v1/chat/completions	POST	Create chat completion (compat)	Bearer Token
Generic	/v1/responses	POST	Create response (compat)	Bearer Token
Generic	/v1/messages	POST	Create message (compat)	x-api-key
Generic	/v1/messages/count_tokens	POST	Count tokens (compat)	x-api-key

Authentication

LLMIO uses different auth headers depending on the endpoint:

1. OpenAI‑style endpoints (Bearer Token)

Applies to /openai/v1/* and OpenAI‑compatible endpoints under /v1/*.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" http://localhost:7070/openai/v1/models

2. Anthropic‑style endpoints (x-api-key)

Applies to /anthropic/v1/* and Anthropic‑compatible endpoints under /v1/*.

curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_TOKEN" http://localhost:7070/anthropic/v1/messages

3. Gemini Native endpoints (x-goog-api-key)

Applies to /gemini/v1beta/* endpoints.

curl -H "x-goog-api-key: YOUR_TOKEN" http://localhost:7070/gemini/v1beta/models

For claude code or codex, use these environment variables:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=<YOUR_TOKEN>
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<YOUR_TOKEN>
export GEMINI_API_KEY=<YOUR_TOKEN>

Note: /v1/* paths are kept for compatibility. Prefer the provider‑specific routes.
