What people are saying

Thanks! That's sounds excellent. I love the Shelley Web Agent ( https://GitHub.com/boldsoftware/Shelley ), but guessing it would be hard to integrate that into your platform…

What Hacker News says

And? It's a convenience for their users (and most users for sure want this) for easy access to frontier closed and also open models (Fireworks). They advise also there is no markup or profit made for them in providing this managed gateway. I guess I don't understand the OP's point even. Is there some conflict with providing this service and still being passionate about open source? IMV the answer is no. Their main software product, Shelley, is open source: https://github.com/boldsoftware/shelley
In Devtools must be open source
Looks nice, thanks for open sourcing and sharing. I'm all in on Go and integrating AI up and down our systems for https://housecat.com/ and am currently familiar and happy with: https://github.com/boldsoftware/shelley -- full Go-based coding agent with LLM gateway. https://github.com/maragudk/gai -- provides Go interfaces around Anthropic / OpenAI / Google. Adding this to the list as well as bifrost to look into. Any other Go-based AI / LLM tools folks are happy with? I'll second the request to add support for harnesses with subscriptions, specifically Claude Code, into the mix.
In Show HN: GoModel – an open-source AI gateway in Go
I have always assumed this is about individual projects, but let me try talking about our team effort. We just launched exe.dev, and have lots of projects. In particular, we are spending a lot of time on file systems. The easy one is copy-on-write VM cloning, which existing software provides for us. More interestingly, I believe the standard cloud approach of putting everything on a NAS by default is wrong. Doing better here is going to require doing unusual things. Finally, we decided to open source the exe.dev agent, Shelley. https://github.com/boldsoftware/shelley
