Operate AI like production: serving, GPUs, latency, capacity, routing and reliability.
AI Gateway
An AI gateway centralizes model access, routing, authentication, policy, observability, quotas and sometimes caching.
Think of it like
Think of AI Gateway like familiar infrastructure capacity and traffic engineering, except the scarce resources are often tokens, GPU memory and model latency.
Real life
High-scale AI services depend on AI Gateway to keep cost and latency under control.
SRE lens
Put one control layer in front of multiple model providers and internal models.
