Item detail

SMG is an Apache-2.0, Rust-based engine-agnostic LLM gateway that exposes a single OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API across vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, TokenSpeed, SGLang, OpenAI, Gemini, and similar backends. It adds a small routing and observability layer on top of the engines themselves without forcing a runtime change.

Why it matters

Useful for teams running mixed inference backends who want a single client surface and routing layer: point SMG at your existing vLLM and OpenAI endpoints, swap the client base URL, and check that latency and cost dashboards still look right before tearing out the bespoke proxy.

Who should use it

ML platform teamsinference SREsteams running mixed local + cloud backendscost-routing experiments

Who should skip it

Skip if the source link, docs, or setup requirements do not match your workflow.

Risk explanation

gateways become a single point of failure; run with health checks and a fallback plan for direct backend access.
