## Features - **Providers**: add TokenRouter (300+ models via OpenAI-compatible gateway) with exact per-model pricing for 110 models and `reasoning_effort` thinking config - **Providers**: add Self-hosted STT / TTS / Embedding — point 9Router at your own OpenAI-compatible speech and embedding servers (whisper.cpp, faster-whisper, Kokoro-FastAPI, llama-server, vLLM, Infinity). Unlike the named cloud providers these read `baseUrl` per connection, so one provider can front several machines - **Combos**: default-enable vision/audio capacity adapter (auto-routes to a vision/audio-capable model when the target lacks that capability, falling back to `oc/mimo-v2.5-free`), wired into chat handler routing - **Endpoint**: auto-provision a "Default Key" for first-time users so `/v1` works without a manual dashboard step - **Codex**: support GPT-5.6 Max/Ultra reasoning-level overrides (cx/ routes only) - **Qoder**: support PAT (Personal Access Token) connections end-to-end, alongside OAuth device flow - **CLI tools**: add OpenDesign (manalkaff/opendesign) support - **Headroom**: report effective payload savings (tool schema/history bytes broken out, byte-savings % reflects actual outbound reduction) - **Ollama**: Cloud quota tracker (session + weekly) + proactive background OAuth token refresh scheduler for all providers ## Fixes - **Providers**: remove Qwen (OAuth flow stopped working reliably) - **Passthrough**: detect codex-tui/Codex Desktop as native Codex client — they were falling through to the translator and losing fields like `reasoning.summary` - **OAuth**: scope antigravity header fixes to loadCodeAssist/onboardUser only - **OAuth**: keep `open` external in the build so xAI/Grok token refresh works on Windows - **OAuth**: declare missing `searchParams` in register-session handler (was a 500 instead of JSON on error) - **DB**: `ENABLE_REQUEST_LOGS` env var now overrides the UI setting correctly; observability defaults to off (opt-in) - **Translator**: preserve Codex Responses Lite tool use across chat-native OpenAI-compatible providers - **Translator**: don't drop image-only user messages in `prepareClaudeRequest` - **Translator**: drop JSON Schema keywords Gemini rejects (`uniqueItems`, `contains`, `multipleOf`, `unevaluatedProperties`, `unevaluatedItems`, `contentSchema`) - **Claude**: remove global header cache that leaked one client's identity headers onto another client/account sharing the server; gate `anthropic-beta` by model instead - **Antigravity**: drop retired Gemini 3.0 quota tiers, show Gemini 3.6 Flash usage bars - **Cloudflare AI**: declare API key authentication (dashboard showed "No connections" despite an active key) - **GitHub Copilot**: hold monthly-exhausted accounts until UTC month reset instead of only cooling down 120s - **CodeBuddy**: dodge Tencent CN content filter, add usage tracking, normalize codebuddy-intl messages - **Usage**: stop losing cached prompt tokens in the forced-SSE→JSON path - **Grok CLI**: display the public subscription tier from the OAuth token claim - **Providers**: count apikey connections for Ollama free-tier card; free-tier/ apikey providers without `authModes` now default to apikey (were treated oauth-only) - **Build**: include static/public assets in standalone output (login page hung on 404s when run via PM2) - **Server**: support IntelliJ IDEA OpenAI-compatible clients over HTTP (h2c upgrade handling) - **Auth**: redirect already-logged-in sessions away from `/login` - **CLI tools**: enable Apply button for dynamic OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible provider connections - **CLI**: include complete API artifacts in the CLI package - **TTS**: a bare self-hosted model name is the MODEL, not the voice — `kokoro` was parsed as a voice against a default model, 404ing or synthesising with the wrong one endpoint that drops packets never returns headers, so the request previously hung indefinitely
9Router - FREE AI Router & Token Saver
Never stop coding. Save 20-40% tokens with RTK + auto-fallback to FREE & cheap AI models.
Connect All AI Code Tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Copilot, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Cline, OpenClaw...) to 40+ AI Providers & 100+ Models.
🤔 Why 9Router?
Stop wasting money, tokens and hitting limits:
- ❌ Subscription quota expires unused every month
- ❌ Rate limits stop you mid-coding
- ❌ Tool outputs (git diff, grep, ls...) burn tokens fast
- ❌ Expensive APIs ($20-50/month per provider)
9Router solves this:
- ✅ RTK Token Saver - Auto-compress tool_result, save 20-40% tokens
- ✅ Maximize subscriptions - Track quota, use every bit before reset
- ✅ Auto fallback - Subscription → Cheap → Free, zero downtime
- ✅ Multi-account - Round-robin between accounts per provider
- ✅ Universal - Works with any OpenAI/Claude-compatible CLI
