How to properly verify OmniRoute AI gateway works before connecting coding agents
OmniRoute is a locally hosted AI gateway that exposes a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint and routes requests across hundreds of providers with automatic fallback. A DEV Community guide outlines a structured checklist to confirm a fresh install is fully functional, not just running. The verification process covers health checks via the built-in 'omniroute doctor' command, confirming provider connectivity, and testing basic chat completions using curl. Developers are also advised to validate streaming responses and tool/function calling, as failures in either can break most AI agent workflows. The guide emphasizes that a gateway merely starting up is not sufficient proof it will hold up under real-world conditions like provider outages or complex request types.
