Cachegate
cachgate · App
Cachegate is a self-hosted proxy for language model traffic with an OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint. You can name a provider's model directly, or name a capability tier and let the router pick a healthy provider by cost or latency. Responses are cached both exactly and semantically, calls can be streamed, and cost and latency are tracked per call. It has no hosted service or account, and you supply your own provider keys.
Written by ooruby from the README of cachegate 1.4.2.
Not claimed by its maker.
Why it's useful
Gives your apps one OpenAI-style endpoint in front of several providers, with caching and per-call cost and latency tracking that you run yourself.
What you could do with it
- Point an OpenAI-compatible client at it and send chat requests that are passed to Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek or OpenRouter.
- Ask for a capability tier instead of a model and let the router choose a healthy provider on cost or latency.
- Resend a similar question and have it answered from the exact or semantic cache instead of calling the provider.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured

In its maker's words
Self-hostable, OpenAI-compatible LLM proxy: routes to the cheapest healthy provider, caches responses exactly and semantically, tracks cost and latency per call.

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 1.4.2, the file with digest sha512-A9PIkwzwIRfvJ/S0F6S5YbqeqvKLDc0v/ehOdMpVDeBbkQ9kA3dYBX9rN5rYxiwRnsJMFzU/Ek0gfcomMaCH+w==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
Adding it
Run it with:

No build provenance published. The repository above is the one the publisher declared, and nothing links it to the package you would install. That is not a mark against this listing, since most packages are published this way, but it is a check nobody can run.
The badge, if this is your listing
It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
