Hyperion — AI Gateway for Production LLM Apps

Hyperion is an enterprise AI gateway — a unified API and control plane that routes, secures, caches, and optimizes access to multiple LLM providers so production apps run faster, cheaper, and more reliably.

"Replace many provider SDKs with one robust, production-ready gateway that handles failover, semantic caching, model routing, budget controls, and observability."

Key Benefits

  • Unified API for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and self-hosted models.
  • Semantic caching to significantly cut token spend and LLM latency.
  • Cost-aware model routing and automatic budget enforcement.
  • Automatic failover & health-based provider routing to maintain uptime.
  • Enterprise security including PII redaction and prompt-injection defenses.
  • Deploy in the cloud, self-hosted, or fully air-gapped.

Quick Start

# Point your app at Hyperion
export HYPERION_API_KEY=sk-...

curl -X POST https://api.hyperionhq.co/v1/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HYPERION_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"gpt-4o","input":"Summarize this..."}'

Core Features

Hyperion handles the heavy lifting of LLM orchestration: unified endpoints (OpenAI-compatible), multi-provider routing, partial result streaming, semantic and exact match caching layers (Redis & Qdrant), strictly enforced budgeting and quotas, plus full observability through traces, logs, and analytics.
