An AI gateway acts as a middleware layer between applications and LLM providers, centralizing functions like routing, authentication, rate limiting, and cost tracking. Developers often realize the need for such a system after encountering specific issues such as unexpected cost spikes, silent model failures, or security audit failures. Implementing an AI gateway allows for better management of API keys, provides granular cost visibility per team or service, and enables dynamic adjustments to routing and policies without modifying application code. AI
