¿Qué es un gateway de LLM?
En términos técnicos, A centralized API and policy layer between applications and model providers that standardizes requests, authentication, routing, observability, safety, caching, and fallbacks.
¿Por qué es importante?
Es importante porque A gateway prevents every application from implementing provider clients, keys, logs, and policies independently.
Cómo funciona
El sistema funciona así: Applications send a normalized request. The gateway authenticates, applies policy, routes or transforms, invokes a provider, streams results, records usage, and handles fallbacks.
Ejemplo técnico
Ejemplo: One internal endpoint serves Claude, GPT, Gemini, and private models while enforcing budgets, redaction, approved regions, and trace IDs.
Notas de implementación
Notas técnicas: Preserve provider-specific capabilities, secure keys, isolate tenants, define retry safety, redact logs, measure first-token latency, and avoid caching sensitive prompts.
