The Helicone AI Gateway is a cloud-based solution designed to simplify the integration and management of multiple AI models, addressing common challenges faced by engineers such as handling numerous API keys, custom logic for model fallbacks, and maintaining infrastructure. With the capability to route requests to over 100 models from major providers through a single API, it offers a unified platform for configuration, observability, and security, ensuring high uptime and cost efficiency by automatically selecting the cheapest provider. The service supports multi-provider architectures, reflecting the growing trend as AI becomes critical in modern products, and emphasizes ease of integration to allow developers to focus on feature development rather than infrastructure maintenance.
