USE CASES

Your workflow.
More control.

Codex, Claude Code, fallback, budgets, chat and LAN: six ways to bring LiteGate into your workflow.

Product scenarios · Public release pending. Client compatibility depends on protocol, version and enabled capabilities.

01 / USE CASE

Codex, on your terms

Connect Codex to one stable endpoint and manage destinations and policies through LiteGate.

Example scenario

Explain a module and generate a test using an explicitly selected model.

Requirements and boundaries

Responses, streaming and tool-call compatibility verified against the client version.

02 / USE CASE

Claude Code, connected

Work in your repositories with centralized provider credentials and shared policies.

Example scenario

Review a code change with requests flowing through an Anthropic-compatible gateway.

Requirements and boundaries

Messages, streaming and tool support. API access is independent of chat subscriptions.

03 / USE CASE

A backup plan for your models

When a recoverable failure or provider limit occurs, try another allowed destination before delivering the response.

Example scenario

The primary provider returns a rate limit; LG tries the next eligible destination in the ordered list.

Requirements and boundaries

Fallback is only allowed before the first visible output. After that point, errors are reported without silently restarting. Local mode never allows a cloud destination.

04 / USE CASE

Your tokens, your budget

Set budgets per tool, project or key, with visible usage, alerts and explicit policies when a limit is reached.

Example scenario

Assign a daily token budget to Codex and Claude Code and block new requests when it runs out.

Requirements and boundaries

Tokens and money are accounted for separately. Hard limits require capacity reservations for concurrent requests and reconciliation with actual usage. An alternative model is only allowed if it meets policy and enough budget remains.

05 / USE CASE

Your own chat, the same rules

Talk to your models inside LiteGate, with local history and visible routing decisions.

Example scenario

Edit a message, create a branch and compare responses while preserving portable context.

Requirements and boundaries

Implementation integrated; public distribution pending. Portable context excludes private reasoning and provider-internal caches.

06 / USE CASE

Your models, from another device

Share access with trusted devices through LAN, TLS and keys with scoped permissions and limits.

Example scenario

Use models connected to your LiteGate workstation from a laptop.

Requirements and boundaries

Explicit opt-in, TLS and revocable keys. Administration stays local. Local means local to the LiteGate host, not every server on the network.

These scenarios describe product workflows, not verified setup instructions for a public release. Each guide will include prerequisites, configuration, a reproducible check and tested client versions. LG policies cover traffic routed through LG, not all client network activity.
