AI Verdict
Confidence: MediumMarket is large and growing (projected $40.8B by 2028), but differentiation is critical - focus on underserved compliance/security needs or build superior cost optimization features.

LLM Gateway
LLM Gateway es una puerta de enlace API de código abierto para Modelos de Lenguaje Grande (LLMs). Actúa como un middleware entre tus aplicaciones y varios proveedores de LLMs, permitiéndote: - Enrutar solicitudes a múltiples proveedores de LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI Studio y otros) - Gestionar claves API para diferentes proveedores en un solo lugar - Rastrear el uso de tokens y costos en todas tus interacciones con LLMs - Analizar métricas de rendimiento para optimizar tu uso de LLMs
Open-source LLM API gateway with $350 MRR growing 417% monthly in booming AI infrastructure market.
Open-source community adoption and multi-provider integrations - but weak defensibility currently
- Engineering teams at mid-market companies ($10M-$100M revenue) using multiple LLM providers and struggling with API key management and cost tracking
- AI startups needing unified LLM orchestration without vendor lock-in
- No enterprise-grade security features
- Limited analytics depth
- No model performance benchmarking
- Missing cost optimization recommendations
- Add real-time cost optimization engine
- Build compliance certifications (SOC2, HIPAA)
- Create model performance benchmarking suite
- Add A/B testing for LLM providers
Medium - open-source nature helps distribution but requires strong technical marketing
- Major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) building native LLM gateways
- Open-source competitors with better funding
- Pricing pressure from free alternatives
- Rapid LLM API standardization reducing need for middleware
$15k-$25k for 2-engineer team over 3 months
- Multi-provider API routing (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google)
- API key management dashboard
- Token usage and cost tracking
- Basic performance analytics
