It features automatic failover, adaptive load balancing, semantic caching, and adds only 11 microseconds of overhead at 5,000 RPS. The gateway supports 1000+ models, includes a web UI for configuration, offers enterprise features like budget management and SSO, and can be deployed via NPX, Docker, or as a Go SDK. It serves as a drop-in replacement for OpenAI, Anthropic, and other provider APIs with zero code changes. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
