Open Source Windows LLM Gateways

Bifrost is an LLM gateway designed to provide a unified OpenAI-compatible API front for many different model providers. It abstracts away the complexity of working directly with multiple backend providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, etc.), enabling you to plug in providers and switch between them without touching your client code. It is built to be high performance: in benchmark tests at 5,000 requests per second, it reportedly adds only microseconds of overhead and achieves perfect success rates with no failed requests. Bifrost supports features such as automatic fallback (failover between providers), load balancing across API keys/providers, and semantic caching to reduce latency and cost. It also includes observability with built-in metrics, tracing, logging, and supports governance features like rate limiting, access control, and cost budgeting. The architecture is modular: there is a core engine, plugin layers, and transport layers (HTTP APIs).

Kong is a next generation cloud-native API platform for multi-cloud and hybrid organizations. When building for the web, mobile, or Internet of Things, you’ll need a common functionality to run your software, and Kong is that solution. Kong acts as a gateway, connecting microservices requests and APIs natively while also providing load balancing, logging, monitoring, authentication, rate-limiting, and so much more through plugins. Kong is highly extensible as well as platform agnostic, connecting APIs across different environments, platforms and patterns. Achieve architectural freedom with Kong today.

The world's fastest AI Gateway proxy, written in Rust and optimized for maximum performance. This high-performance API gateway routes requests to various AI providers (OpenAI, GROQ) with streaming support, making it perfect for developers who need reliable and blazing-fast AI API access.

APIPark is an open-source, all-in-one AI gateway and API developer portal, that helps developers and enterprises easily manage, integrate, and deploy AI services. No matter which AI model you use, APIPark provides a one-stop integration solution. It unifies the management of all authentication information and tracks the costs of API calls. Standardize the request data format for all AI models. When switching AI models or modifying prompts, it won’t affect your app or microservices, simplifying your AI usage and reducing maintenance costs. You can quickly combine AI models and prompts into new APIs. For example, using OpenAI GPT-4 and custom prompts, you can create sentiment analysis APIs, translation APIs, or data analysis APIs. API lifecycle management helps standardize the process of managing APIs, including traffic forwarding, load balancing, and managing different versions of publicly accessible APIs. This improves API quality and maintainability.

Chat Nio is described as a next-generation, all-in-one AI platform that serves as an end-to-end solution for both B2B and B2C use cases. It supports dozens of underlying AI providers (OpenAI, Claude, Stable Diffusion, DALL·E, Midjourney, and many Chinese models, etc.), giving users flexibility in backend selection and switching. It offers a full stack: model management, channel/provider integration, a model marketplace, caching, subscription and billing support, dashboard analytics, and a web/admin UI. The platform supports model caching so repeated queries or similar inputs may be accelerated, and has mechanisms for elastic billing/subscription models to monetize usage. CoAI also supports “cloud sync,” allowing user settings or data to sync across deployments, and “preset” configurations to streamline user experiences.

AI Gateway is a high-performance, open-source API gateway optimized for managing and monitoring LLM traffic at scale. Developed by the LangDB team, AI Gateway acts as an intermediary between clients and backend LLMs, providing advanced features like caching, rate limiting, prompt management, and observability. It helps teams secure and optimize their LLM deployments, whether using local models or external APIs like OpenAI or Anthropic. With native support for multi-tenant environments and low-latency inference routing, AI Gateway is an essential tool for companies building production-grade generative AI services.

Portkey AI Gateway aims to offer a blazing fast, secure, and flexible gateway for interacting with a wide variety of models and enforcing guardrails. It presents a single, friendly API through which you can route to 200+ LLMs, while applying configurable input/output guardrails to enforce policies or restrict certain content. It supports automatic retries, fallbacks, load balancing across providers or keys, and request timeouts to avoid latency spikes. The gateway is multimodal: it can handle text, vision, audio, and image models under a common interface. It also offers features for governance: role-based access, compliance with standards (SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR), secure key management, and logging/analytics of usage, latency, errors, and cost. The system integrates with agent frameworks like LangChain, Autogen, and others, enabling the building of more complex AI applications. It’s lightweight and optimized for low latency with a small footprint.
