Quickstart: run the router

npm install -g lakuna   # thin launcher, needs uv - see below

lakuna init             # detect models + hardware, write lakuna.yaml
lakuna check            # validate the config, print your fleet

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...   # your own frontier key
lakuna serve

This npm package is a launcher, not the router itself - the real backend is a Python project at github.com/chinmayi-r/lakuna, run for you via uv. Install uv first (curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh), and the CLI tells you if it's missing. There is no hosted middleman and no API key to mint from us - the only key in this picture is your own, with your own frontier provider.

Commands

Command	What it does
lakuna init	Detects local models (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp) and hardware, writes a pre-filled config - frontier-only and honest about it if it finds nothing local.
lakuna check	Validates the config and prints your fleet. Rejects a bad config with a line number instead of failing silently at request time.
lakuna serve	Runs the proxy. Point any OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible client at it; nothing about your calls changes except a receipt on every response.
