Architecture
Every request runs through one gateway.
Every call clears the AI Security layer first — WAF, DDoS shielding, per-IP rate limits, and per-org budgets — then guardrails, routing, cache, and observability, before it ever reaches a provider. A real gateway your traffic flows through, not an SDK wrapper.
