About Inferock Bench
Inferock Bench is an open-source developer tool designed to bring transparency and independent auditing to large language model (LLM) API consumption. Operating as a local proxy, it sits directly between your application code and your LLM service providers to monitor and log backend activity.
By proxying calls formatted for major providers—including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and OpenRouter—Inferock Bench captures key metrics on a per-call basis. It records token usage, tracks request failures, and monitors retries. Using this telemetry, it generates independent receipts that show what was billed compared to actual consumption, allowing developers to detect discrepancies and see exact overpayment figures.
Pros of Inferock Bench
- Generates independent receipts to audit LLM API billing accuracy
- Operates locally as a proxy, maintaining control over network traffic
- Captures detailed per-call metrics including token usage, failures, and retries
- Supports popular API formats for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and OpenRouter
- Open-source software hosted on GitHub
Cons of Inferock Bench
- Requires local proxy configuration within your application infrastructure
- Specific to supported provider call formats (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Inferock Bench?
Inferock Bench is an open-source local proxy tool that sits between your application and LLM providers. It monitors API traffic to generate independent receipts showing your actual token usage, failures, retries, and potential overpayments.
Which LLM providers does Inferock Bench support?
Inferock Bench supports API calls structured for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and OpenRouter.
How does Inferock Bench calculate billing discrepancies?
By acting as a proxy, it captures the exact token count, failure rates, and retries for every call made by your application, comparing actual usage against provider charges.
Is Inferock Bench open source?
Yes, Inferock Bench is an open-source tool and its repository is hosted on GitHub.
About Vizhi
Vizhi (named after the Tamil word for 'eye') is an open-source hardware mission control interface engineered for developers managing concurrent AI coding sessions. Created by indie developer Ravi Shankar during OpenAI Build Week, Vizhi addresses a modern workflow bottleneck: as autonomous coding assistants handle the bulk of software generation, developer attention shifts towards monitoring, approving, and steering multiple terminal processes. Vizhi maps these supervisory tasks directly onto physical hardware via the Logitech MX Creative Keypad, turning its dynamic LCD keys into a dedicated command deck. The system tracks up to six active Codex CLI sessions simultaneously across macOS terminal tabs, binding each session to a persistent LCD key showing its live status and context consumption. When an AI agent reaches a permission checkpoint or command execution gate, the corresponding key lights up in amber or red, enabling instant, one-press approvals directly from the keypad without switching windows. Beyond physical controls, Vizhi integrates offline Whisper-based voice dictation to send spoken prompts straight to agents, backed by TTY-verified safety delivery. For developers without the physical Logitech keypad, Vizhi includes a local browser-based companion dashboard that mirrors session supervision entirely offline.
Pros of Vizhi
- Transforms physical keypad hardware into an intuitive, glanceable control deck for up to six simultaneous Codex CLI sessions
- One-touch hardware approval keys reduce window-switching fatigue during multi-agent workflows
- Completely local and private architecture with on-device Whisper transcription and token-protected TTY verification
- Includes a browser-based local dashboard fallback for developers without the Logitech MX keypad
- Open-source and highly customizable key-binding configuration
Cons of Vizhi
- Full hardware experience requires a specific peripheral (the Logitech MX Creative Keypad)
- Currently tailored specifically to macOS and Apple Terminal environments
- Requires manual local setup spanning multiple toolchain components
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Vizhi and how does it help developers?
Vizhi is an open-source supervisor dashboard that connects Codex CLI agent sessions to the Logitech MX Creative Keypad, allowing developers to monitor active sessions, approve terminal actions with one press, and issue voice prompts.
Do I need a Logitech MX Creative Keypad to use Vizhi?
No. While the system is optimized for the physical LCD keys of the Logitech MX Creative Keypad, Vizhi includes a local browser dashboard that provides full session monitoring and controls on your computer screen.
How does voice prompting work in Vizhi?
Vizhi features a dedicated Voice key powered by local Whisper transcription. Spoken instructions are transcribed on-device without cloud API dependencies and sent directly to the targeted agent terminal.
Is Vizhi safe to use for terminal command approvals?
Yes. Vizhi runs entirely on your local machine and uses token-protected, TTY-verified approval delivery with visual color-coded badges to guard against unauthorized or accidental command executions.
