For enterprises using multiple LLM providers, managing different APIs, keys, and rate limits can be a nightmare. Portkey acts as a central "gateway" that simplifies how your applications interact with AI models.
Portkey provides a single, OpenAI-compatible API that can route requests to over 100 different models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, etc.). It supports automatic failover and load balancing, ensuring that if one provider is down or rate-limited, your application stays online.
By implementing semantic caching, Portkey can significantly reduce costs and latency. It recognizes similar queries and returns cached responses, preventing redundant model calls. It also provides detailed cost tracking at the user and project level, giving you full control over your AI spend.
