AI Gateway

One Intelligent Gateway for Every AI Interaction

A single control plane that routes every query between local models, public LLMs, and MCP servers — optimizing for cost, latency, and compliance automatically. Less than 50ms overhead.

Sound Familiar?

The Hidden Cost of Unmanaged AI Traffic

If your teams are using AI without a central gateway, you're likely facing these problems today.

💸

Overspending on Every Query

Teams default to expensive frontier models for simple tasks. Nobody knows what each department spends, and there's no way to enforce cost-efficient routing.

🔑

Scattered API Keys & Accounts

Every team manages its own provider relationships, API keys, and billing. IT has no inventory, no central access control, and no way to revoke credentials at scale.

🚫

Zero Failover or Redundancy

When a provider goes down, your AI-powered workflows go down with it. There's no automatic fallback, no retry logic, and no routing around outages.

🔓

Sensitive Data Hitting External APIs

There's no routing logic to keep confidential queries on-premises. Customer data, proprietary code, and financial records flow to cloud LLMs by default.

👁

No Visibility Into AI Usage

You can't see which models are being called, how many tokens are consumed, or what the per-query cost is. When something breaks, there's no trace to debug.

📋

Compliance Gaps Widening

No audit trail for AI interactions means no way to prove compliance. Regulated industries need a record of every query, every model decision, and every response.

Capabilities

Four Engines Inside the Gateway

Each component works together to give you cost control, performance, access governance, and data sovereignty — out of the box.

🎯

Smart Routing

Automatically directs queries to the optimal model or MCP server based on task complexity, cost, and latency targets. No manual selection required.

Complexity-aware model matching

Routes across LLMs, local models, and MCP servers

Automatic failover across providers

Custom routing rules per department

📈

Cost Optimization

Prompt compression, model weight arbitrage, local LLM offloading, and real-time per-department billing visibility — reducing spend by an average of 40%.

Prompt compression & token optimization

Model output arbitrage across providers

Per-department billing & cost dashboards

Local LLM offloading for simple tasks

🚫

Access Control

Role-based permissions restrict which teams can access which models, with full audit logging for every single request flowing through the gateway.

Role-based model access permissions

Department-level usage quotas

Full audit trail for every interaction

SSO / SAML integration

🔓

Data Sovereignty

Route data through the gateway to train local LLMs, ensuring sensitive information never leaves your infrastructure while improving model performance.

On-premises model hosting & training

Data residency controls by geography

Sensitive data auto-routed to local models

Air-gapped deployment support

Integration

Drop-In API Compatibility

The Gateway is fully compatible with the OpenAI API format. Switch your base URL, and all existing code works instantly — no SDK changes, no refactoring. You gain routing, optimization, and governance with one line.
