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 work** s

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:

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**

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.
