Efficient multi-provider agent environments with AI gateways: best practices

AI gateways provide a centralized interface for accessing multiple LLM providers through a single API, allowing organizations to efficiently route agentic tasks to the most cost-effective and high-performing models. By decoupling model selection from application code, these gateways simplify the implementation of unified reliability features—such as retries and fallbacks—while improving security and budget governance across an organization.
