# Welcome

Welcome to FastRouter.AI!

### **Introduction to FastRouter Gateway**

FastRouter.ai is a robust LLM Gateway that acts as a control plane for managing and routing requests across multiple language models and providers. It offers scalability, reliability, and fine-grained control for enterprise and developer workloads.

### **What is an LLM Gateway?**

An LLM Gateway sits between your application and various large language model (LLM) providers. It handles request routing, observability, cost tracking, error fallback, performance optimization, and credential management—enabling developers to abstract provider differences and optimize usage.
