Portkey open‑sources gateway
Portkey has open‑sourced its AI gateway after handling roughly two trillion tokens per day—signaling growing momentum for multi‑model routing and enterprise‑grade gateway tooling. The release adds an open option for teams productizing agentic flows and large traffic LLM routing. (x.com)
The project's public repository shows "Gateway 2.0" consolidated into the main Portkey-AI/gateway repo, lists an MIT license, and advertises routing to 1,600+ language, vision, audio and image models. (github.com) Portkey’s published metrics used in outreach and coverage place the gateway in the path of production traffic with figures including 1T+ tokens and roughly 120M AI requests per day, and a customer base count above 24,000 organizations tied to an $180M+ annualized LLM spend. (finance.yahoo.com) Independent coverage and Portkey materials reference a multi‑trillion‑token vantage point from their telemetry and highlight a separate MCP Gateway component aimed at governing agent behavior across enterprise tools. (thenewstack.io) The GitHub repo shows active engineering cadence—thousands of commits, a large star count (11.1k), and recent merges last week—while documentation and the project wiki include enterprise vs OSS feature contrasts and migration guides. (github.com) Quickstart and deployment artifacts in the repository and community forks demonstrate self‑host options (npx quickstart, Docker, Cloudflare samples), and an official npm package for the gateway was published recently (package @portkey‑ai/gateway). (github.com) Portkey announced venture backing to scale the control plane—reporting a recent $15M Series A—and positions the product as providing governance, observability, OAuth 2.1 authentication, model cataloging and cost controls for enterprise AI operations.
