Netlify AI Gateway

Use AI models without managing keys or billing

Netlify AI Gateway launched on December 18, 2025 with 292 votes, #74 of 11,628 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.

In plain words

Netlify AI Gateway allows developers to build AI features without managing API keys or billing across multiple providers. The service securely handles credentials and usage while providing direct access to models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini within Netlify projects. It simplifies the transition from experimentation to production-ready AI applications by eliminating account setup and infrastructure management tasks typically required when working with AI models.

From the sources

Netlify AI Gateway makes it easier to build AI features while you’re vibe coding. Instead of pausing to create provider accounts, manage API keys, or set up billing, AI Gateway securely handles credentials and usage for you. You can call the latest models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini directly from your Netlify project. It’s a faster path from experimenting with AI to something ready to run in production.

Learn how to use the AI Gateway to build with AI.

Use popular AI models in your code, without needing to manage API keys or external accounts. This feature is available on Credit-based plans only, including the Free, Personal, and Pro plans. If you are on an Enterprise plan and you’re interested, reach out to your Account Manager. Learn how AI Gateway works in this TanStack Start chat app example, which automatically proxies your requests to a supported AI provider with built-in security, usage analytics, and rate limiting. For a video overview of how the AI Gateway works with a fun demo project, check out our AI Gateway gameshow demo.

    Many teams connecting LLMs to external tools eventually encounter the same architectural issue: as more tools and agents are added, the integration pattern becomes an N×M mesh of direct connections. Each agent implements its own auth, retries, rate limiting, and logging; each tool needs credentials distributed to multiple places and observability becomes fragmented. We built LLM gateway with this goal to provide a single place to manage authentication, authorization, routing, and observability for MCP servers, with a path toward a more general agent-gateway architecture in the future. The…

    I built an OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway that routes requests to OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, vLLM, llama-server, SGLang... anything that speaks /v1/chat/completions. Single Go binary, one YAML config file, no infrastructure. It does the things you'd expect from this kind of gateway... semantic routing via a three-layer cascade (keyword heuristics, embedding similarity, LLM classifier) that picks the best model when clients omit the model field, weighted round-robin load balancing across local inference servers with health checks and failover. The part I think is most…

    Hi HN, we built an open source model gateway. It's a single place to manage our own self hosted, frontier, and open source models in one place. It’s is rust native, built for concurrency, and implements all the config quirks across models and providers (streaming formats, tool calls, model parameters, rate limits, and different error behavior). The gateway adds under 1 ms for BYOK requests and under 2 ms when Experiential supplies the provider key. It has every major inference provider, and 1000+ models refreshed daily via a codex agent that opens a PR. Compared to other similar projects…

  • Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
