Stop AI Sprawl Before It Stops You.

Every AI API is a separate vendor, a separate data processor, a separate discovery target. ModelRouter consolidates them all behind one gateway, one audit trail, one policy layer.

Section 01 / The Problem

The AI Sprawl Problem

Your organization's AI usage is fragmenting across providers, teams, and shadow channels. Each fragment is a compliance gap.

Vendor Proliferation

7 Vendors, 7 Risks

Every AI provider your company uses is a separate contract, a separate data processing agreement, a separate compliance review. Engineering wires up OpenAI for one team, Anthropic for another, Groq for the intern project. Each one processes your data under different terms. Each one is a potential breach vector. Each one is a discovery target.

Unmanaged Usage

Shadow AI

Your employees are already using AI. They are pasting customer data into ChatGPT, internal code into Claude, financial projections into Gemini. You do not know what they are sending, which models they are using, or whether any of it complies with your security policies. It is shadow IT all over again—but with direct access to your most sensitive data.

Legal Risk

The Legal Exposure

Federal courts have ruled that AI-generated content and AI interactions are discoverable. If your company is sued, every prompt your employees sent to every AI provider is potentially producible in discovery. Without centralized logging, you will spend months collecting data from 7 different providers—if they even retain it.

Section 02 / The Solution

ModelRouter Consolidates Your AI Stack

Replace fragmented, unaudited AI usage with a single governed gateway.

Before & After

Before: Sprawl

Engineering → OpenAI (direct API)
Marketing → Anthropic (direct API)
Legal → ChatGPT (browser)
Support → Groq (direct API)
Finance → Claude (browser)
5 separate vendors
5 data processing agreements
5 audit trails (if any)
5 discovery targets

After: Consolidated

Everyone → ModelRouter → Best provider
1 gateway
1 audit trail
1 policy layer
1 discovery response

Key Outcome

Every team still gets access to the best model for their task. Engineering gets GPT-4o and Claude for code. Marketing gets fast models for content. But every request flows through one policy layer with one audit trail. Your compliance team reviews one vendor, not seven.

Section 03 / Infrastructure

You Need a CDN and WAF Anyway

Compliance frameworks—SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI—require a CDN for DDoS protection and a WAF for application security. You are already paying for Fastly. ModelRouter adds AI governance to the same edge infrastructure. No new vendor, no new contract, no new data processing agreement.

Already Have

CDN

You already have Fastly for content delivery and DDoS protection. Your compliance audit already covers it. Your procurement team already approved it.

Already Have

WAF

You already have edge security for your web applications. Request inspection, rate limiting, and bot mitigation are running at the same edge network.

Add This

AI Gateway

Add AI governance to the same platform. Same vendor, same compliance umbrella, same SOC 2 audit scope. ModelRouter runs as Fastly Compute—no additional infrastructure to provision, audit, or secure.

Section 04 / Legal Preparedness

Legal Discovery Preparedness

Courts are establishing that AI interactions constitute business records subject to discovery. Companies without centralized AI logging face months of collection across multiple providers, inconsistent retention policies, and potential spoliation claims.


  • Centralized audit trail Every prompt, every model, every provider, every timestamp in one KV store. One subpoena response, not seven separate provider negotiations.
  • Retention policies Configure 30, 90, or 365-day retention per your compliance requirements. Consistent retention across all providers eliminates gaps.
  • CSV export One-click export for legal review. Structured data with timestamps, user identifiers, model selections, and routing decisions.
  • Metadata-only logging By default, ModelRouter logs routing decisions, not prompt content. Configure content logging for regulated industries that require full record retention.
  • Defensible process Consistent, automated, tamper-evident logging at the edge. The same process applies to every request regardless of team, model, or provider.
Section 05 / Vendor Independence

Vendor Independence

BYOK means you own your provider relationships. If OpenAI changes terms, raises prices, or gets banned in your market—switch to another provider in your ModelRouter config. No code changes, no migration, no downtime.


No vendor lock-in. Your application code calls one endpoint. ModelRouter handles provider selection behind the scenes.
Switch providers in seconds via KV config. Update a key-value pair, and the next request routes to the new provider.
Your data, your keys, your choice. ModelRouter never stores your API keys server-side. Keys live in your Fastly KV Store.
Works with any OpenAI-compatible provider. If a new provider launches tomorrow with better pricing, add it to your config.
