TokenFoundry

The LLM gateway that puts a meter on every AI call. Per-team budgets, audit trails, no surprise bills. Watch the meter.

Invoice #3: the invoice you never see. Your 'free' self-hosted AI proxy gets paid for in engineer-hours, and those hours never show up on an invoice.

When did you last pin your gateway's exact build and read the changelog? One managed endpoint, every key inventoried, no DIY patch clock. / Watch the meter. Invoice #4 drops Thursday. (5/5)

Two versions of LiteLLM shipped attacker code from official PyPI: 1.82.7 and 1.82.8. Full forensics dropped this week. If you self-host your gateway, read on. (1/5)

A gateway is the worst place for this to land. It holds the keys for every model provider you use. Backdoor the gateway and you inherit the whole tenant, not one app. (4/5)

@thesignalnow The menu bar is the right fix for one person. The same problem at team scale is five teams across five providers with no budget guardrails, one invoice at the end. That's where a meter on every call pays for itself. Watch the meter.

@cursor_ai The 7% is on your side of the ledger. The other side is teams burning those savings with one runaway agent loop. Cut the cost per token, then put a meter on every call. Watch the meter.

How many engineer-hours did your 'free' proxy cost this month? Watch the meter. Invoice #4 drops Thursday.

The meter argument: the bill nobody sees is the one nobody budgets for. A managed gateway turns that labor into a fixed line with per-team budgets enforced before the call goes out.

@suyash_raj Right question. But it only answers half. Outcomes per dollar is the CFO question. The engineer question is which calls, keys, and retries burned the dollars. Answer both or the bill keeps climbing. Watch the meter.

@vitalygordon Promote them, but give them a meter. Right now the only signal is a monthly invoice nobody reads. Put cost in the call path and engineers self-correct fast. Watch the meter.

Gartner's Will Sommer: models are getting more token-hungry faster than they are getting cheaper. / If your main provider went dark for an hour, would your AI features survive? / Watch the meter. Invoice #3 drops tomorrow. (5/5)

OpenAI just told its richest customers there is no room. On Sept 10 it paused new sign-ups and upgrades to the $200-a-month ChatGPT Pro tier. (1/5)

A gateway is how you stop depending on one vendor. / 1. One endpoint, many providers. Apps call the gateway; it spreads traffic across models and vendors. / 2. Automatic failover. Provider down or saturated? Traffic shifts without code changes. (4/5)
