Overview

Bifrost is the fastest enterprise AI gateway, purpose-built to route LLM traffic at scale. It claims 50x lower latency than LiteLLM with under 100 microseconds of overhead at 5,000 RPS. Bifrost ships with an adaptive load balancer, multi-node cluster mode for horizontal scaling, built-in guardrails (including Microsoft Azure, AWS Bedrock, Lakera, and Gray Swan), semantic caching, and a unified API for 1000+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and open-source providers. Its single-binary deployment (Rust) works as an OpenAI-compatible drop-in replacement, integrates with OpenTelemetry, Langfuse, Datadog, and Helicone for observability, and includes a web dashboard with team management, access profiles, and per-model budgets. Licensed under Apache-2.0.
