Free self-hosted gateway bypasses Claude limits, shares subscriptions

A developer has created a free, self-hosted gateway designed to circumvent usage limits and improve session continuity for users of Anthropic's Claude models. The tool, which has gained significant traction on GitHub, offers features like automatic model failover across multiple providers and shared subscription management for teams. It also incorporates a multi-engine compression pipeline to reduce prompt token usage, preserving code and URLs while including safeguards against prompt inflation. AI
