Today on The Gateway Signal: We continue to track the engineering push to stabilize and optimize massive agentic workloads. Today we look at NVIDIA's rollout of its GIL-bypassing AIPerf load tester, f…
Today on The Gateway Signal: DeepSeek's internal telemetry reveals its V4.1 Flash clusters are generating $38 per GPU hour in off-peak revenue, offering a rare look at the unit economics of open-weigh…
Today on The Gateway Signal: Security vulnerabilities and memory bottlenecks are forcing platform teams to rethink their data planes. We examine two critical RCE flaws discovered in LiteLLM, alongside…
Today on The Gateway Signal: We track Google's move to strip Python out of the inference path with its new C++ serving engine, alongside Together AI's deployment of agentic compilation loops. Elsewher…
Today on The Gateway Signal: As inference frameworks push hard to accommodate massive new open-weight models, the focus is narrowing on control and memory optimization. We break down Day-0 runtime sup…
Speed and control define today's updates. Fireworks and DeepSeek are pushing inference performance past the 1,500-tokens-per-second threshold, even as enterprise platform teams pull model routing inwa…
New access mandates and contractual firewalls from OpenAI are forcing third-party gateway providers to adapt their routing strategies. Beyond policy shifts, the data plane itself is evolving, with com…
Major aggregators like OpenRouter are rethinking their routing math, prioritizing stability metrics over raw price floors in a bid to curb retry rates. Elsewhere, a fresh wave of localized decision ch…
Serving frameworks are pushing Blackwell hardware past the one-million-tokens-per-second mark, leading a wave of infrastructure updates that also includes new 2B decision models and sandboxed agent ha…
Today on The Gateway Signal: The unbundling of the monolithic AI gateway continues. We are tracking a new wave of sub-millisecond decision endpoints, compiled Rust-native proxies, and multi-GPU tier o…
