A proxy layer that reverse-engineers free access to various LLM providers' web interfaces. Standout trait is that it is explicitly built around evading rate limits and ToS rather than being a legitimate self-hostable service.

⚠ Needs Improvement

Needs Improvement β€” Architecture is built around evading provider rate limits and Terms of Service by proxying third-party APIs, not around a legitimate backend. There is no real auth model, no owned API contract, and no durable service to scale. To be scored as a real deployable app, it would need its own API keys/backend integration, proper authentication, and a security model that doesn't depend on circumventing another provider's ToS.

βš™ Full Stack

Python asyncio-based proxy that scrapes/reverse-engineers various vendors' free web chat endpoints, with a thin FastAPI-compatible wrapper for OpenAI-style API calls.

πŸ“ˆ Scaling Analysis

There is no real backend to scale β€” the entire project's throughput is capped by how long each reverse-engineered provider endpoint stays unpatched, which makes uptime and rate-limit behavior fundamentally non-deterministic regardless of how many replicas are run.

πŸš€ Running on Nexlayer

Deployable as a single pod, but not recommended for production Nexlayer workloads: it depends on unstable, frequently-patched upstream scraping targets that break without warning, and has no durable auth model to secure behind Nexlayer's ingress.
