AI gateways and API infrastructure
Recent window: last 5.3 months (2026-04-28 → 2026-10-06), compared with the prior 5.3 months.
These products provide developer infrastructure, API gateways, and routing layers designed to optimize and manage interactions with large language models. They are built for software engineers and startups integrating multiple AI models who need observability, rate limiting, and unified API access. This cluster is distinguished by its focus on runtime proxying, routing, and developer plumbing rather than end-user AI applications or model training.
