📦 Open Source ProjectHelicone
A high-performance, open-source AI gateway built in Rust for seamless LLM observability, caching, and load balancing.
Helicone AI Gateway is an open-source infrastructure layer engineered for developers who need reliable and performant LLM connectivity. By leveraging Rust, the gateway achieves industry-leading speed and a minimal memory footprint, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic AI applications. It acts as a unified proxy that abstracts away the complexities of interacting with multiple LLM providers. Key features include intelligent caching to reduce API costs and latency, advanced rate limiting to protect against abuse, and sophisticated load balancing to distribute requests across various models or providers. Furthermore, the gateway provides deep observability, allowing teams to track performance metrics and usage patterns in real-time. Its modular design ensures that it can be dropped into existing stacks with minimal configuration, providing a standardized interface for all AI-driven interactions.
