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は、大規模言語モデル（LLM）向けのオープンソースAPIゲートウェイです。アプリケーションと様々なLLMプロバイダーの間でミドルウェアとして機能し、以下のことが可能になります： - 複数のLLMプロバイダー（OpenAI、Anthropic、Google AI Studioなど）へのリクエストをルーティング - 異なるプロバイダーのAPIキーを一箇所で管理 - すべてのLLMインタラクションにわたるトークン使用量とコストを追跡 - パフォーマンスメトリクスを分析してLLMの使用を最適化
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
