# GitHub - NVIDIA-NeMo/Switchyard

**[The Dump](https://daily.dev/sources/thedump)** · [@denisb0](https://daily.dev/denisb0) · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Switchyard is a pre-alpha Rust proxy and library from NVIDIA NeMo for routing LLM traffic across multiple providers. It translates between OpenAI Chat, Anthropic Messages, and OpenAI Responses API formats, enabling coding agents like Claude Code or Codex to target open-source models (vLLM, NVIDIA NIM, Ollama) without changing their native API calls. It supports multiple routing strategies including LLM-as-classifier, signal-driven stage routing, escalation routing, and random A/B split routing. Prometheus metrics cover requests, errors, latency, tokens, and routing overhead. It can be used as a standalone server, a launcher for coding agents, or embedded as a Rust library. Currently experimental and not recommended for production use.
