Question 1

What is SentioGate BYOK AI Gateway?

Accepted Answer

SentioGate is a zero-markup Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) AI gateway and drop-in OpenAI-compatible multi-LLM router. It dynamically routes requests across your own OpenAI, Anthropic (via OpenRouter), Google Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI, and custom vLLM/Ollama keys by task tier, cost, and measured EWMA latency and error rates.

Question 2

How can I use Free AI Chat and Free LLM APIs on SentioGate?

Accepted Answer

SentioGate provides a Global Free Community Pool (150 free requests per 5-hour rolling window per user with no credit card required) in the web chat console and API, plus a 90-Day Free Beta (25,000 routed requests/month at $0 platform fee) where you can combine free-tier API keys from Google Gemini, Groq, Mistral, and OpenRouter.

Question 3

How does SentioGate compare to OpenRouter, LiteLLM, and Portkey?

Accepted Answer

Unlike token aggregators that charge credit markups or self-hosted Python proxies that require managing Docker and Redis infrastructure, SentioGate runs on the global Cloudflare edge with 0% token markup on your own encrypted API keys (AES-256-GCM), built-in 16k+ token context compression, 1-hour semantic caching, and automatic HTTP 429 failover.
