Was passiert ist: The two AI gateway patterns in production inference

AI gateways follow two patterns: access gateways routing one application to many model providers, and serving gateways routing many customers to owned models.

Warum es zählt: The two AI gateway patterns in production inference

Teams operating production AI systems need this distinction when choosing gateway architecture, especially those monetizing their own model deployments.

Achtung: The two AI gateway patterns in production inference

Treating access and serving gateways as interchangeable leads to evaluating wrong products; they optimize for different traffic flows and operational problems.
