One placeto route, cap,and control every model call.
Route model traffic through one control layer that enforces budgets, applies real-time guardrails, manages provider failover, and records audit-ready evidence without requiring application rewrites.
See the Gateway in actionEvery new model adds another point of exposure.
As teams adopt more models and providers, traffic fragments across API keys, applications, and business units. Security cannot consistently enforce policy, finance cannot control spend before it occurs, and engineering becomes responsible for updating every integration individually.
Without a shared control point, each new model connection introduces another place where data, cost, reliability, and governance can fall outside organizational standards.

for routing, budgets, guardrails, and evidence
Observability tells you what happened.It doesn't stop it from happening again.
Monitoring can reveal that a model call exceeded its budget, exposed sensitive data, or failed after the fact. It cannot reroute the request, block the interaction, or stop the next violation from occurring.
Without a shared enforcement layer, teams must change application code to disable access, update policies, or switch providers. Governance can see that an incident occurred but cannot prove the required control was applied at the time of the request.
Budgets live in a spreadsheet, not in the system that spends the money.
Turning off a runaway integration means a ticket and a deploy, not a switch.
A policy that only alerts is not a control.
Instrument once, control everything
Teams can change providers, enforce new controls, disable access, or update budgets centrally without rebuilding every application that uses AI.
Everything required to control model traffic
01
Smart routing and failover
Route requests across approved providers based on availability, performance, cost, or policy. Automatically fail over when a provider becomes unavailable or exceeds required thresholds.
02
Automatic AI discovery
Automatically identify the applications, models, providers, teams, and keys generating traffic through the gateway. Flag unapproved models or usage patterns as they appear.
03
Key issuance and kill switch
Issue keys by application, team, or owner. Monitor usage against each key and disable access immediately without requiring a new deployment.
04
Budget enforcement
Set hard spending limits by key, project, team, model, or provider. Alert owners, reroute traffic, or stop requests automatically when limits are reached.
05
Real-time guardrails
Inspect inputs and outputs in real time. Block or redact sensitive data, prompt injection, jailbreaks, prohibited content, and unauthorized requests before they reach a model or user.
06
Flexible ingestion alternatives
Use SDK instrumentation, OpenTelemetry pipelines, direct REST streaming, or supported tracing libraries to bring visibility and evidence into Openlayer when proxy routing is not an option.
“Openlayer gives us a single control point for every model call without forcing each application team to build its own safeguards.”
