How I built a multi-provider proxy for Grok Build!

I wanted to use Ollama and other providers with Grok Build without
being locked to one API. So I built GrokRoute — a local proxy that
routes requests to 5+ providers with auto-fallback.

How it works

Grok Build → GrokRoute (:8083) → Agnes / Groq / Zhipu / Laguna / Ollama

The proxy is a single Python file implementing the OpenAI
/chat/completions endpoint with SSE streaming. When a request comes in:

1. Proxy reads the provider config
2. Tries providers in priority order
3. If one fails (rate limit, timeout) — next provider takes over in 5s
4. Streams the response back to Grok Build

Non-streaming mode goes even faster: fires requests to ALL providers
in parallel, first valid response wins.

Quick start

npm install -g grokroute
grokroute install
grokroute

Then press SPACE — Grok Build launches with multi-provider support.

Key features

• 5+ providers: Ollama, Groq, Agnes, Zhipu, Laguna
• Auto-fallback: sequential with 5s timeout per provider
• Race mode: parallel requests, fastest response wins
• Web admin UI: dark theme, :8083/admin
• Local-only: runs on 127.0.0.1, no telemetry
• MIT license

Why I built this

I was benchmarking different models for coding tasks and got tired of
switching configs manually. The auto-fallback turned out to be the
killer feature — if a provider rate-limits, it just works.
