# AI Gateway

**AI Gateway** is a centralized gateway that lets you integrate AI models from multiple providers (OpenAI, Google, Deepseek, and more) through a single endpoint — reducing the complexity of switching models, centralizing monitoring, optimizing cost, and protecting your data.

## Overview

| Capability            | Description                                                                                       |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Multi-LLM support** | Flexibly integrate multiple LLMs from multiple providers through one gateway                      |
| **Monitoring**        | Track performance and activity through metrics and logs, including detailed latency breakdowns    |
| **Access control**    | Manage **Authentication Tokens** and set rate limits by request count or token count              |
| **Cost optimization** | Caching reduces the number of requests sent to the model, saving cost and improving response time |
