A routing layer manages authentication.

OpenRouter offers the broadest managed catalog with 500+ models from 60+ providers.

An LLM gateway enforces per-team budgets and usage limits before costly API calls reach providers.

Centralize your LLM calls to swap models as easily as changing a config value.

Managed gateways let teams skip infrastructure work while keeping routing control.

A unified gateway centralizes credentials and routes all LLM calls through one policy layer.

Catch all PII entry points—user input, retrieval, tool results, and model output—at the gateway.

Teams are already dependent on single AI providers without realizing the full scope of the risk.

Understanding which quota regime you're using prevents silent failures in production.

Production LLM systems need routing, cost tracking, and failover—not just an API key.

Redaction must happen before data leaves your network, not after it reaches the provider.

A practical guide to avoiding the pitfalls lurking beneath DeepSeek's simple API surface.

Four types of coupling quietly lock enterprises into single AI providers.

Unvetted AI tools in production code pose risks traditional governance can't catch.

Real production performance looks nothing like academic benchmarks — measure what actually matters.

Centralize fallback logic in a gateway to survive provider outages without duplicating retry code.

Governance and routing are the real production challenge for open-source coding models.

Understand input versus output token costs to match the right tier to your actual workload.
