Latency-budget routing: how to stop SLA breaches before they happen
Declare a latency budget in your routing policy. Kamiwaza evaluates real-time p95 per endpoint and fails over before your application sees a timeout.

Engineering notes from Kamiwaza
Architecture analysis on LLM routing policy design, private GPU infrastructure trade-offs, tenant isolation patterns, and cost-per-token benchmarks across Anthropic, OpenAI, and Bedrock.
Anthropic vs. OpenAI vs. Bedrock: latency and cost profiles for enterprise routing
We ran 100,000 requests across Claude Haiku, GPT-4o-mini, and Bedrock Llama 3 Instruct. The latency distributions at p50, p95, and p99 tell a different story than the marketing pages.

Tenant isolation patterns for multi-model SaaS platforms
Three patterns for giving each customer their own model policy in a shared inference gateway: per-tenant model allowlists, audit bucket isolation, and per-tenant rate limits.

Enforcing LLM safety policies at the routing layer — not the application layer
Pushing safety controls into each application creates fragmentation and audit gaps. Here's why the model gateway is the right enforcement point for data class restrictions and redaction policies.

Private GPU vs. managed endpoints: a decision framework for platform teams
Not every workload belongs on-prem. Not every workload is safe on a managed API. We walk through the four questions platform teams should answer before deciding.

The economics of model routing: when private GPU beats managed API
A cost-per-token analysis across private GPU (Llama 3.1 70B on A100), Anthropic Claude Haiku, and AWS Bedrock Llama 3. The break-even volume is lower than most teams expect.
