Project Summary

This project provides an OpenAI proxy service deployable on Cloudflare Workers or Vercel Edge Functions, aimed at developers seeking to route OpenAI API requests through a globally distributed edge network. It offers a cost-effective and potentially lower-latency alternative for accessing OpenAI models.

How It Works

The proxy leverages edge computing platforms to intercept and forward OpenAI API requests. This architecture allows for localized request handling, potentially reducing latency for users geographically distant from OpenAI's primary data centers. Deployment on platforms like Cloudflare and Vercel enables serverless execution and global distribution.

Quick Start & Requirements

  • Cloudflare Deployment: pnpm i && pnpm run deploy
  • Vercel Deployment: Fork the repository and deploy via Vercel.
  • Prerequisites: Node.js, pnpm. Vercel account or Cloudflare account with Workers enabled.

Highlighted Details

  • Supports deployment on both Cloudflare Workers and Vercel Edge Functions.
  • Offers a proxy solution for OpenAI API requests.
  • Suggests Vercel for users in proximity to Hong Kong due to Cloudflare's region limitations.

Maintenance & Community

The project is maintained by egoist. Further community interaction details are not provided in the README.

Licensing & Compatibility

The README does not specify a license. Compatibility for commercial use or closed-source linking is not detailed.

Limitations & Caveats

The README notes that Cloudflare's Hong Kong region may not be optimal for OpenAI API usage, suggesting Vercel as a preferred alternative for users in that region. The lack of explicit licensing information may pose a risk for commercial adoption.
