1. LangChain Launches LangSmith LLM Gateway in Public Beta

LangChain. LangChain released LangSmith LLM Gateway into public beta, a centralized governance layer that sits between production agents and model providers to enforce runtime controls. The gateway supports organization-, workspace-, key-, and user-level spend caps and rate limits, automatic model fallbacks when a provider hits an outage or rate limit, and detection and redaction of PII and secrets before requests reach providers. It works across OpenAI, Anthropic, Fireworks, and custom endpoints, and logs gateway events into LangSmith traces for monitoring and debugging. Source
