G8KEPR vs LiteLLM
LiteLLM is a massively popular open-source LLM proxy with 100+ provider support, hard budget enforcement, and flexible load balancing — the go-to routing layer for many AI teams. Its guardrails integrate third-party safety vendors (Lasso, Gray Swan, Javelin, Prompt Security) rather than running native ML classifiers. G8KEPR closes the gaps: it adds a full traditional API gateway for non-AI traffic, platform-native ML threat detection across 1,500+ patterns, complete MCP agent security, and a Verification Engine that validates every output before delivery — capabilities that sit outside LiteLLM's LLM-routing scope.

The Four Pillars
G8KEPR is a unified platform. Four capabilities working together that no single-purpose tool can match.
AI Gateway
Multi-LLM routing, automatic failover, cost tracking, prompt caching
MCP Security
Secure every AI agent tool call — registration, auditing, sandboxing
AI Threat Detection
Prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, PII leakage — 1,500+ ML patterns
Verification Engine
Structural, semantic, and constraint verification of every AI output
