Stop choosing an account. Choose a model.
Attach the AI accounts you hold. Every request goes to the cheapest one that can serve it, and a free lane catches the rest. One gf- key, in any app that speaks the OpenAI format.
“I hold the keys and pick the route. Two faces — one for you, one for the vendors. Neither lies.” Janus
01 · The problem
Heat in this age comes from a dozen vendors with a dozen invoices. Every tool that wants a model runs its own fuel line, holds its own key, and bills you separately.
→ · The answer
One gate, the fire behind it, one key that turns it. Attach what you already pay for; GATE prices the route on every request and fails closed when something shouldn't pass.
02 · What it does
One key, the cheapest route to every model you hold.
One gf- key, every account you hold
Drop the base URL and key into Cursor, Continue, a script, a sister tool. Done.
Your spend stays yours
BYOK first. Your OpenAI stays your OpenAI. GATE routes; it doesn't resell you your own models.
A free lane in the first minute
Free-intent traffic rides the free aggregator so the key works before you've attached anything.
The cheaper road, automatically
Attach two providers and GATE prices the route on every request.
One sign-in for the whole wall
The session that opens GATE opens the Hall, ANVIL, NODE, and the rest.
Fail-closed by design
No key, no completion. No silent fallthrough to a vendor you didn't attach.
The pillar the suite leans on
Every other maiden gets heat and identity from this post.
03 · How it connects
Where GATEforge sits on the wall.
Every tool draws heat and session through GATE and hangs on the Hall. These are its hand-offs.

Janus
Janus keeps the keys and picks the route.
Janus took the name of the old Roman god of doors — two faces, one turned to you and one to the vendors. Heph's gold-and-silver hounds at the palace door, recast as a maiden who holds a key instead of teeth.
Her rule: Two faces, no lies. Nothing passes without a key.
