20+ free LLM channels, one tool to route them all

WHAT IT SOLVES

Want to try different LLMs for coding? You end up signing up for 10 services and paying for each one separately — more exhausting than the actual coding

WHY IT'S INTERESTING

Product taste

Doesn't build models — aggregates them

The author's angle is sharp: instead of competing on model capability, they wired 20+ free LLM channels into a single coding interface. Users don't care if it's GLM underneath — they just pick one that works and start building. Classic indie hacker move: own the connection layer that big players ignore

Real craft

Free channels aren't just plug-and-play

Wiring 20+ channels means dealing with different API formats, rate limits, quality variance, and failover logic for each one. Every channel has its own quirks — getting 20+ to actually work is real engineering. The default engine is GLM-5.2, with code gen, full-stack site building, and long-horizon task support

I built an AI coding tool that connects to 20+ free LLM channels

TECH GUESS

Likely React/Next.js frontend, a backend routing layer that proxies requests to multiple LLM APIs, with GLM-5.2 as the primary engine
