One open-source AI gateway for 100+ LLM providers
Call 100+ providers and 1,800+ models using one request format, so you can swap models without changing application code.
Issue scoped keys per team, project or app, set monthly spend caps and see exactly who is driving usage and cost.
Distribute traffic across deployments, retry on failure and automatically fall back to another model or provider when one goes down.
Dashboards for request volume, tokens and cost per model, with support for logging and analytics integrations.
The managed vector database and knowledge engine for production AI
Store and query vector embeddings with automatic indexing that requires no manual tuning or algorithm selection.
Writes are acknowledged in under 100ms and become searchable within seconds, while all data is searched in parallel so speed holds at scale.
Connect agents to Pinecone through plugins for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, MCP, or a direct REST API with one key.
Serve compiled, governed enterprise knowledge to agents through a single query, cutting token usage and latency versus multi-step RAG loops.
Provides a massive hosted model catalog with instant access, but requires trusting a third-party platform instead of self-hosting.
