Building an LLM inference gateway involves more than just acting as a smart proxy, as the process of handling a request crosses multiple critical boundaries. The first boundary is between the client's request and the platform's internal contract, where the gateway must translate public intent into platform-specific details like identity, context, and routing metadata. The second boundary is between the router's decision and the worker's actual capacity, as the worker's status can change rapidly after the router makes its selection. The gateway's primary role is interpretation and translation, ensuring internal platform details do not leak to the client and that routing decisions align with real-time worker availability. AI
