Latest update (11-11 20:46): Enterprise AI teams route Claude traffic through relay gateways to cut costs

Overview: Meng Shao, writing on X, says enterprise AI products use Claude only in part because it is expensive and rate-limited, so teams add relay gateways for cost control and backup. He points to Langfuse AI Gateway, an open-source tool now in public beta, as a way to extend Agent tracing, and asks readers to recommend relay services other than OpenRouter. The post gives no pricing, usage figures, or named enterprise customers.
