What it is
An AI gateway as a framework that provides full control over models, routing & lifecycle. Compatible with OpenAI APIs like /chat/completions, /embeddings & /models.
The @hebo-ai/gateway offers unparalleled control and flexibility in managing AI models, routing, and lifecycle within a self-hosted framework, making it ideal for teams needing full autonomy.

A good fit for
Development teams who require full control over their AI models' lifecycle management.

Projects that need self-hosted solutions for compliance or security reasons.
Look elsewhere if
