What is an AI Gateway and how to choose one in 2026
Blog post from Portkey
AI gateways have become essential for managing the rapidly expanding use of AI within organizations across various domains such as customer support, research, and product development. These gateways serve as a control plane that standardizes access to AI providers, enforces governance, and offers visibility needed for responsible scaling. By 2025, organizations expect AI gateways to not only provide basic features like standardized access and routing but also advanced capabilities such as agent orchestration, Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatibility, and cost governance. Choosing the right gateway impacts reliability, security, and cost efficiency, requiring support for multiple AI providers, strong governance, real-time cost management, observability, and seamless integration with AI applications. Portkey is highlighted as a robust AI gateway offering extensive provider support, enterprise-grade governance, cost optimization, and future-ready features, establishing itself as a critical platform for secure and efficient AI adoption in both enterprises and educational institutions.
