Apache APISIX AI Gateway
AI plugins for the Apache APISIX API gateway.
Plugins that add LLM proxying to APISIX: routing and load balancing across model instances, token-based rate limits, regex prompt guards, response caching (exact or semantic) and token/latency logging. A natural fit if APISIX already fronts your APIs.
