Currently setting up a self-hosted AI agent gateway giving businesses full control over their AI infrastructure instead of relying entirely on third-party APIs.
This setup integrates with Together AI for access to leading open-source models (Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, and more), with secure token-based authentication and local-first configuration for maximum control and privacy.
Why this matters: businesses get the power of modern AI models without vendor lock-in, with full visibility into how their data and requests are handled.
More updates coming as I build this out.
