Portkey is an AI gateway and observability platform that sits between your applications and more than 1,600 large language models. It gives engineering teams a single, fast endpoint for routing, caching, retrying, and monitoring every LLM request.
Instead of integrating each model provider separately, Portkey lets you manage OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Meta, and open-source models through one unified API. Teams use it to cut latency and cost while gaining reliable governance, guardrails, and analytics over production AI traffic.
