ngrok AI Gateway provides one hosted gateway for every model: public providers, custom endpoints, and the models you run yourself. Use one key and one URL to route across OpenAI, Anthropic, and self-hosted models with observability, access control, and fallbacks built in. Your private models connect through ngrok’s network, so they sit beside hosted providers without being exposed to the public internet.

Could you build this?
Partial A basic LLM router and API wrapper is easy to vibe-code, but ngrok's secure reverse-tunneling network fabric, edge proxy latency, and enterprise traffic controls require high-performance networking infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a high-throughput proxy layer (written in Go or Rust with Envoy or Pingora), distributed edge points-of-presence (PoPs), and custom wire protocols for multiplexed TLS tunneling back to local/private machines. The hard problems include global routing with sub-millisecond overhead, robust streaming token buffering, intelligent failover with streaming fallback, and enterprise security guarantees (mTLS, PII redaction engines).
