What it does

An AI gateway for routing across LLMs with guardrails, provider abstraction, and an OpenAI-compatible API surface.

Why it belongs here

Model routing plus guardrails is the grown-up version of tokenmaxxing: pick the right route, then keep the call inside policy.

Best use case

Teams that want an OpenAI-compatible gateway with routing, provider abstraction, guardrails, and operational policy controls.

How to use it

Centralize model calls, define guardrails and fallbacks, and compare provider cost and latency across the same workflows.

Limits

Guardrails and routes need real policies. A gateway cannot decide quality targets or risk tolerance for the team.

Introducing Augment Prism: model routing to reduce cost and maintain quality

Augment Code introduces Prism, a cache-aware model router for coding-agent sessions that chooses an underlying model per user turn to reduce token spend without materially degrading output quality (per Augment’s benchmarks).
