The tool provides response caching, automatic failover to backup providers, local and cloud routing, and an OpenAI-compatible interface.", "body_md": "Hi everyone!\n\nManaging multiple LLM providers, rate limits, and API downtime while keeping latency and costs low became a hassle, so I built llmproxy.\n\nWhat it does:\n\n⚡ Response Caching: Reduces duplicate requests and cuts API costs.\n\n🔄 Automatic Failover: Seamlessly fallbacks to backup providers or local models if your primary API is rate-limited or down.\n\n🏡 Local + Cloud Routing: Route light prompts to local models (Ollama/vLLM) and heavy ones to cloud APIs (OpenAI/Anthropic).\n\n🔌 OpenAI Compatible: Drop-in replacement—just point your base_url to llmproxy.\n\nIt’s completely open-source and easy to spin up with Docker.\n\n📂 GitHub: [https://github.com/lordraw77/llmproxy](https://github.com/lordraw77/llmproxy)\n\nI’d love to get your feedback, feature requests, or suggestions on how to improve it!", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-we-solved-502-read-timeouts-on-slow-reasoning-llm-apis-using-sse-stream-in", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/alessandro_pioli_5fcab5ea/how-we-solved-502-read-timeouts-on-slow-reasoning-llm-apis-using-sse-stream-aggregation-in-python-1g36", "published_at": "2026-07-24 13:44:05+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-24 14:02:53.956025+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools", "large-language-models", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["llmproxy", "OpenAI", "Anthropic", "Ollama", "vLLM"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-we-solved-502-read-timeouts-on-slow-reasoning-llm-apis-using-sse-stream-in", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-we-solved-502-read-timeouts-on-slow-reasoning-llm-apis-using-sse-stream-in.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-we-solved-502-read-timeouts-on-slow-reasoning-llm-apis-using-sse-stream-in.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-we-solved-502-read-timeouts-on-slow-reasoning-llm-apis-using-sse-stream-in.jsonld"}}
