Hosomaki

Hosomaki is the family that runs models and moves work between them — inference servers, gateways, and the schedulers that keep long jobs alive. Reach for it when the question is what generates the tokens, or what retries the step that failed. Futomaki holds the data these services read and write; nigiri is the interface a person sits in front of.

How the menu is put together

Sushi Kitchen sells open-source infrastructure you run yourself. Every service on the menu is a roll; the twelve families group the ninety-two rolls by what they do, and this page is one family. Order a single roll or a ready-made composition of several — either arrives as a compose file that runs on your own server, or we host it for you.

Roll
One service. Ninety-two exist, each listed under the family it belongs to.
Family
One of twelve groups the rolls fall into, by the job they do. Sizes run from three rolls to fifteen.
Combo
Two to four rolls that work together, ordered as one composition.
Platter
Five or more rolls: a complete working environment rather than a part of one.
The lead roll

One roll stands at the head of every family page — the one to look at first if the family is new to you. It is picked by rule, not by hand.

LiteLLM

hosomaki.litellm

Gateway fronting more than 100 model providers behind a single OpenAI-compatible API, adding routing rules, fallback chains, retries, per-key spend limits and request logging.

Why this one leads

Production maturity, three minutes to stand up, and it appears in fifteen of the twenty-six compositions.

The rule

Highest maturity, then shortest stand-up time, then most used across the twenty-six compositions. No editorial list.

The rest of the family

9 more

Every other roll in the family, alphabetically. Each has a page of its own giving what it provides, what it needs alongside it, and the hardware it wants — and any roll can be ordered on its own.

n8n may be passed on to others only free of charge, so it cannot travel inside a bundle we sell. An agreement with n8n GmbH is the route to including it.

Restrictions carry the wordPort is the hosted counter, Starboard is self-host. A restriction row appears only where a delivery model is closed — nine in this family are open both ways and carry nothing.
