Its gateway gives applications one API for connecting to models and providers across modalities, with configurable routing, retries, failovers, and load balancing.

Integrations include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Azure, Amazon Bedrock, and Ollama, plus frameworks such as CrewAI, LangChain, LangGraph, and the OpenAI Agents SDK. The gateway also offers simple and semantic caching for repeat requests. Security controls include virtual provider keys, access controls, inbound IP and geographic rules, and sensitive-data redaction. Deployment options include self-hosted and local setups; Enterprise lists private cloud and VPC hosting. The Developer plan is free and includes 10k recorded logs per month with three days of log retention. Production costs $49 per month; Enterprise pricing is custom.
