    Hi HN! This is Salman, Adil, Shuguang and Co working on ArchGW[1] - an open-source lightweight proxy server for prompts - written in Rust and built on top of Envoy[2]. Arch moves the critical but pesky handling and processing of prompts: task understanding, prompt routing, safety, and observability - outside business logic. Its an edge and egress proxy for agentic apps. We've talked to 100s of developers at places like Twilio, GE Healthcare, Redhat, Square, etc and there was a consistent theme in building AI apps: to move past a nascent demo they are left to their own devices in building out…

    Hi HN! This is Adil, Salman, Co and Shuguang and we're excited to introduce archgw [1], an open source intelligent proxy for agents built on Envoy [2]. Arch moves the critical but crufty work around safety, observability, and routing of prompts outside business logic. Arch is a uniquely intelligent infrastructure primitive, engineered with purpose-built fast LLMs [3] for tasks like intent detection over multi-turn, parameter identification and extraction, triggering single/multiple function calls, and offers convenience features to auto dispatch LLM calls for summarization based on data…
