AI APIs: Taming the Wild West with AI Gateways
summary
Claims a 10‑principle IGT toolkit plus a traffic shared responsibility model let platform teams stop direct calls to model APIs and prevent four concrete failures: leaked OpenAI keys (2023), an order‑of‑magnitude surprise invoice from a third‑party AI service, toxic output causing harm, and duplicated platform work. Implementation uses AI gateways such as Portkey and Light LLM or cloud features like Amazon Bedrock and Azure AI content safety to enforce virtual keys, central logging, cost dashboards and guardrails that block PII and prompt injection.
