About Manifest

Manifest is an open-source LLM gateway that routes agent requests between subscription plans, bring-your-own-key providers, and local models. Its Autofix feature repairs malformed API requests on the fly, while model fallbacks, full request logs, and cost visualization keep production agents running reliably. Teams can self-host the whole router with Docker for free or use the hosted cloud version. It suits builders and startups managing inference across multiple model providers.
