Models & Routing
Model providers, routers, API key managers and proxies. Point DSH at DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, or anything else.
Model providers, router shims, failover layers and token accountants. These plugins decide which model answers a request, how many providers stand behind it, and what it costs. We track 118 repositories in this bucket, 17% of the 714 projects in the directory. Together they hold about 63.3k GitHub stars, though the median project sits near 2 — the headline number comes from a handful of very large repos, as usual in a young ecosystem.
By language the mix is JavaScript (59), TypeScript (53), Python (2); by license it is MIT (92), no license (15). 118 of 118 have been pushed since August 2026, so the bucket is still moving. The three largest projects by stars are dsh-our-free-model, dsh-routing-suite, dsh-purge.
Choose by the providers you already pay for, then add a router only if you actually run more than one. Sort by last update rather than stars for anything you plan to depend on, and open the README before installing: a plugin that is three months stale may still work, but you want to know that going in.
Browsing the whole set instead? The full plugin index lists all 714 repositories with stars, language and last-update date in one table. Adjacent categories worth a look: UI & Themes, Desktop Apps, Agents & Teams, Markets & Registries. If you are still choosing a runtime, read the install guide first.
