An HTTP-to-WebSocket bridge that allows central servers to route LLM inference requests to distributed, authenticated remote workers, managing queuing and streaming.

ModelRelay is a utility-grade project designed to solve the 'firewall traversal' problem for distributed LLM inference—allowing a central API to reach workers that connect outbound via WebSockets. With only 1 star and no forks after 8 days, it is currently in the 'personal experiment' phase. While the implementation of bi-directional streaming and cancellation over WebSockets is non-trivial, it is a standard architectural pattern in distributed systems. It competes with established tunneling solutions (ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel) and specialized inference orchestration layers (SkyPilot, Ray Serve, or even simple Celery/Redis setups). The primary value is the simplified 'relay' abstraction, but it lacks the security hardening, multi-tenancy, and observability required for infrastructure-grade tools. Larger platforms like RunPod or Lambda Labs already provide similar 'Serverless' or 'Worker' abstractions that render this approach redundant for professional users. Its displacement horizon is short because existing inference engines (like vLLM or TGI) are increasingly building their own distributed orchestration or can be easily wrapped in a standard message queue.
