Open-source AI gateway that routes to 250+ LLMs with fallbacks, caching and 50+ guardrails; managed SaaS and private-cloud options.

Strengths

  • 50+ integrated input/output guardrails
  • Fallbacks, retries and load balancing
  • MCP gateway with auth and observability

Practitioner note

The OSS gateway is easy to self-host, while logs, audit logs and private-cloud deployment come with the paid tiers. Now that Palo Alto Networks owns Portkey, check the roadmap and licensing of the open-source repo before standardising on it.

Warning

Portkey AI Gateway: Palo Alto Networks completed its acquisition of Portkey on 2026-05-29, and Portkey is now the AI gateway for Prisma AIRS. Gateway 2.0, which merges Portkey's production gateway into the open-source codebase, has been a pre-release on the 2.0.0 branch since 2026-03-24.

EU AI Act obligations

Risk tier: Not applicable · as of 2026-08-23

Source-backed information mapped from Portkey AI Gateway's tracked risk tier — not legal advice. Obligations depend on how your organisation deploys the system; see the full obligation reference and timeline.

This record's EU AI Act risk tier is marked not applicable, so no tier-specific obligations attach. Deployers embedding it in an AI system in scope of the Act should assess that system's own tier.
