Could you build this?

Partial A basic LLM proxy with routing and token budgets is vibe-codeable by wrapping existing model APIs, but enterprise-grade guardrails, multi-tenant isolation, and reliable low-latency routing at scale need serious infrastructure and security expertise.

What it would actually take: Build an OpenAI-compatible proxy (e.g., FastAPI or Go) with per-tenant API keys, Redis-backed rate and token counters, and a provider-abstraction layer. The hard parts are guardrail accuracy (prompt-injection and PII detection that holds up against adversarial input and doesn't add unacceptable latency) and operating it reliably across tenants. That requires security and distributed-systems engineers plus evaluation datasets for guardrail tuning.
