# AI Gateway

> **🔒 Permissions Required**: AI Gateway

AI Gateway works with [AI SDK v5 and v6](/docs/ai-gateway/getting-started), [OpenAI Chat Completions](/docs/ai-gateway/sdks-and-apis/openai-chat-completions), [OpenAI Responses](/docs/ai-gateway/sdks-and-apis/responses), [Anthropic Messages](/docs/ai-gateway/sdks-and-apis/anthropic-messages-api), or your [preferred framework](/docs/ai-gateway/ecosystem/framework-integrations).

## What AI Gateway provides

- **One key, hundreds of models.** Access models from multiple providers with a single API key
- **Unified API.** Switch between providers and models with minimal code changes
- **High reliability.** Automatically retries requests to other providers if one fails
- **Embeddings support.** Generate vector embeddings for search, retrieval, and other tasks
- **Spend monitoring.** Monitor your spending across different providers
- **No markup on tokens.** Tokens cost the same as they would from the provider directly, with zero markup, including with [Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)](/docs/ai-gateway/authentication-and-byok/byok)
