Swobu terminates TLS locally and lets users share and revoke the same route over end-to-end HTTPS with another machine, a friend, or a phone, with the relay acting as a dumb pipe. The tool supports clients including Codex, Claude Code, and PI, and can be chained so one Swobu instance routes to remote Swobu instances to form an LLM mesh.", "body_md": "Swobu is a local TUI switchboard for Codex, Claude Code, PI, you name it. With stateful, provider-independent session lineage and model-name-based routing across way too many heterogeneous LLM providers. The same route can be shared and revoked over end-to-end HTTPS with another machine, a friend or your phone. Hell, you can even make an LLM mesh with one Swobu swobing remote Swobus. Anyway.\n\nOne <10 MB Go binary. TLS terminates locally - relay is a dumb pipe.\n\nIn other words, I’ve tried to factorize LLM traffic along orthogonal client, backend and network dimensions. Hope I find some product-market fit, because I don’t want to go back to job-market fit.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49689250](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49689250)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-swobu-tui-first-llm-switchboard-you-can-share-over-end-to-end-https", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/swobuforge/swobu", "published_at": "2026-09-13 22:12:51+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-13 22:22:06.214786+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-infrastructure", "large-language-models", "developer-tools", "ai-agents"], "entities": ["Swobu", "Codex", "Claude Code", "PI", "Go"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-swobu-tui-first-llm-switchboard-you-can-share-over-end-to-end-https", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-swobu-tui-first-llm-switchboard-you-can-share-over-end-to-end-https.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-swobu-tui-first-llm-switchboard-you-can-share-over-end-to-end-https.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-swobu-tui-first-llm-switchboard-you-can-share-over-end-to-end-https.jsonld"}}
