Experiential Labs

Open-source AI gateway written in Rust that puts hosted providers, a customer's own keys and its own GPUs behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint at the provider's price, with spend caps and attribution, plus an intelligence layer that recommends model switches and caching and can fine-tune a model on the customer's traffic.
