Why the models rank LiteLLM — on best ai gateway
“The de facto open-source standard — a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint fronting 100+ providers with load balancing, fallbacks, retries, per-key/per-team budgets and rate limits, and native hooks into Langfuse/OTel/Prometheus for observability; self-hostable so no data leaves your VPC, and its virtual-key + spend-tracking model fits the typical platform team standing up an internal gateway.”
