| 1 | +Around 50%+ of engineers say integrating and managing multiple models is their #1 AI pain point. At the same time, over 90% of AI teams run 5+ models in production. |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This means: |
| 4 | +- API keys everywhere |
| 5 | +- Custom logic for provider fallbacks |
| 6 | +- Zero visibility when things break |
| 7 | +- Different handling for rate limits, caching, and tracing |
| 8 | +- Constantly updating code every time a new model is released |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +**Engineers are spending too much time integrating infrastructure instead of shipping features.** |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +That ends today. |

| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Built by engineers who've felt the pain of multi-provider integrations, the Helicone AI Gateway is the missing infrastructure layer that every AI team eventually ends up building internally. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +We abstract away all complexity, so you can focus on shipping by picking only your favorite models. |

| 27 | +## One API. 100+ models. Zero configuration, 0% markup. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Through the OpenAI API, the Helicone AI Gateway routes to 100+ models across all major providers - with observability embedded by default so never miss a trace. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +```typescript |
| 32 | +// ❌ OLD WAY - multiple SDKs and endpoints |
| 33 | +const openai = new OpenAI({ baseURL: "https://oai.helicone.ai/v1" }); |
| 34 | +const anthropic = new Anthropic({ baseURL: "https://anthropic.helicone.ai" }); |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +const openaiResponse = await openai.chat.completions.create({ |
| 37 | + model: "gpt-4o", |
| 38 | + messages: [...] |
| 39 | +}); |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +const anthropicResponse = await anthropic.messages.create({ |
| 42 | + model: "claude-3.5-sonnet", |
| 43 | + messages: [...] // Different message format! |
| 44 | +}); |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +// ✅ NEW WAY - one SDK, all providers |
| 47 | +const client = new OpenAI({ |
| 48 | + baseURL: "https://ai-gateway.helicone.ai", |
| 49 | + apiKey: process.env.HELICONE_API_KEY // The only API key you need |
| 50 | +}); |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +const response = await client.chat.completions.create({ |
| 53 | + model: "gpt-4o-mini", // Works with any model: claude-sonnet-4, gemini-2.5-flash, etc. |
| 54 | + messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }] |
| 55 | +}); |
| 56 | +``` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +## What makes this different |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +You can see the Helicone AI Gateway as your one-stop model concierge. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +- We handle **provider authentication**, so you don't have to worry about so many API keys and permissions. |
| 63 | +- 99.99% uptime with **automatic fallbacks** routed to other providers offering the same model. |
| 64 | +- We are constantly checking for model pricing and route you to the **cheapest provider**. |
| 65 | +- **Observability** is embedded by default, so you never miss a trace again. |
| 66 | +- Configure **rate limits, caching, and guardrails** under one unified platform. |
| 67 | +- We protect you from **prompt injections & data exfiltrations** so your product is always protected against attacks. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +All under a **single unified bill** you can top-up as needed, or bring your own key (BYOK). |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +## Why Now? |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +The AI infrastructure landscape is consolidating around a few key patterns: |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +- **Multi-provider is the new normal:** Teams use OpenAI for chat, Claude for coding, and Gemini for image generation and interpretation. Single-provider architectures are increasingly rare (support coming soon!). |
| 76 | +- **Reliability is non-negotiable:** AI is becoming mission-critical for products today. Downtime is both frustrating and expensive. |
| 77 | +- **Developer experience matters:** Engineers want to ship features, not maintain infrastructure. Tools need to be easy to integrate, use, and maintain. |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +## Get Started |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +The AI Gateway is available now in private beta. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +- Existing customers get priority access to the cloud service. |
| 84 | +- New teams are added to the waitlist weekly. |
