Access GPT, Gemini, Claude, Mistral etc. through 1 Gateway: Configure Providers in Bifrost

Access GPT, Gemini, Claude, Mistral etc. through 1 Gateway: Configure Providers in Bifrost

When building AI-powered applications, chances are you don’t want to rely on a single provider: * Claude for reasoning-heavy tasks * GPT-4o for multimodal inputs * Gemini for Google ecosystem integrations * Mistral for fast, cost-effective completions Each provider has different SDKs, auth methods, rate limits, and response formats. Maintaining them quickly becomes messy. Bifrost solves this by acting as a unified AI gateway: one API surface, multiple providers behind it. In this post, we

Your Primary LLM Provider Failed? Enable Automatic Fallback with Bifrost

Your Primary LLM Provider Failed? Enable Automatic Fallback with Bifrost

When building applications that depend on external LLM APIs, provider failures are inevitable. Network timeouts, rate limits, model unavailability, and service outages all cause request failures that break application functionality. This post explains how to implement automatic fallback mechanisms using Bifrost to maintain service availability when primary providers fail. Failure Scenarios in LLM Applications LLM API calls can fail for several reasons: * Rate limiting: HTTP 429 responses wh

From Text to Vision: Multimodal Support in Bifrost

From Text to Vision: Multimodal Support in Bifrost

Modern AI applications are rapidly moving beyond text-only interactions. Today's systems need to process images, generate speech, and transcribe audio, often within the same workflow. While individual providers offer these capabilities, building a robust multimodal system that spans multiple AI providers introduces significant complexity around API differences, error handling, and failover strategies. Bifrost, an open-source AI gateway, addresses these challenges by providing unified multimodal
