### 5. llm-keypool - Free-Tier API Key Pooling Proxy
**Author:** u/azzbeeter | **Score:** 56 upvotes, 31 comments | **Flair:** GitHub Show & Tell

**What it is:** Local proxy that pools multiple free-tier API keys across providers with agentic/delegate pools, audit log, and zero config changes to Hermes.

**Core idea:** Free-tier rate limits are annoying individually but usable when pooled. Built to stop managing keys manually across providers.

**Features:**
- Rotate across 10+ keys from 6+ providers
- Parse rate-limit headers automatically
- Manage cooldowns per provider
- Audit logging
- Zero context loss (Hermes sends full history each call)

**Related tools:** modelrelay and omniroute on GitHub for similar routing functionality

**Warning:** Using multiple keys for the same provider may violate ToS
