Plano

Detailed Introduction

Plano is an open-source AI gateway focused on production-grade LLM traffic management. It provides a unified ingress layer for multiple model backends and API providers, helping teams standardize access control, routing behavior, and runtime policies without tightly coupling application code to a single vendor.

Main Features

• Unified AI gateway layer for multi-provider and multi-model traffic.
• Policy-driven routing and governance for request control and compliance.
• Observability primitives for tracing, monitoring, and operational debugging.
• Production-oriented architecture for reliability, rollout safety, and scale.

Use Cases

• Route traffic across different model providers with fallback and resilience controls.
• Enforce centralized safety, auth, and policy checks for AI requests.
• Standardize AI platform interfaces for internal teams and multi-tenant systems.

Technical Features

• Designed as an extensible gateway/runtime boundary for AI applications.
• Emphasizes operational controls needed in enterprise and platform environments.
• Suitable as a control plane entry point for rapidly evolving LLM stacks.
