Introduction to AI Gateway

Rise Of LLMs

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, few innovations have created waves as transformative as artificial intelligence (AI).

The rise of AI—fueled by large language models (LLMs)—is reshaping how we think about software, automation, and the user experience. Much like the pivotal shifts brought by mobile computing, cloud infrastructure, and microservices architecture, AI represents a foundational shift in how we design and deliver technology.

As we embrace this new era of AI, large language models are not just reshaping what’s possible—they’re redefining how we approach technology itself. However, this transformation is only as strong as the underlying frameworks that support it. APIs, as the silent workhorses of modern software, serve as the crucial bridge connecting AI’s potential with real-world applications, ensuring its seamless integration into the fabric of our digital ecosystem.

What is an AI Gateway

An AI Gateway is a middleware platform that simplifies the integration, management, and scaling of artificial intelligence (AI) models and services within an organization’s IT infrastructure. It serves as a critical bridge between AI systems—such as large language models (LLMs)—and the applications or services that consume them.
