  3. portway

    Self-hosted, run-anywhere gateway that routes and meters traffic across multiple local LLMs behind one OpenAI-compatible API.

    This is the concrete, runnable walkthrough for Post 1 of the Portway series. The goal: stand up a single model behind an OpenAI-compatible endpoint on hardware you already own, call it from the official OpenAI SDK, and internalize the stateless contract. Everything here runs locally for $0.

  4. uv

    An extremely fast Python package and project manager, written in Rust.

    uv installed (uv --version)
