Maxim AI

The site listed for Maxim AI presents Bifrost, an open source AI gateway for LLMs, MCP tools and agents built by Maxim AI. Bifrost sits between applications and model providers, giving teams a single endpoint that works as a drop in replacement for the OpenAI, Anthropic, Vercel AI SDK, LangChain and similar SDKs by changing one line of code, such as the base URL. The gateway provides access to more than 1,000 models across multiple providers through one unified interface, including custom deployed models. Features include automatic provider fallback, budgets and rate limits through virtual keys, custom routing rules, simple and semantic caching, built in observability with OpenTelemetry compatible metrics and traces, a prompt repository with a playground, custom plugins and a command line tool. An MCP gateway centralizes tool connections, governance and authentication, with a code mode. Enterprise features add guardrails that block unsafe outputs in real time, cluster mode for high availability, adaptive load balancing, SSO through SAML and OIDC, vault integrations, audit logs, log exports, role based access control, alerts and VPC, on premises or air gapped deployment. The vendor cites benchmarks claiming lower latency and memory use than LiteLLM, and the product can be started with npx @maximhq/bifrost. It is aimed at platform and engineering teams running production AI systems who need routing, governance and cost control. The OSS edition is free forever and self hosted through Docker, Kubernetes or a Go binary. Enterprise pricing is custom, with a 14 day free trial and demos available by request.
