Use case · Platform Engineering

Ship AI fast without becoming the bottleneck.

Give every team a governed, self-serve path to models and agents, with access, cost, and guardrails handled by the platform. Enable AI instead of gatekeeping it.

Observability: inference traffic, latency, and reliability
The problem

Every AI request becomes a ticket.

Teams want to build with AI faster than any central group can review models, keys, and integrations one at a time, so the platform team turns into a queue.

Approval queues

Teams wait on platform or security to vet each model, key, and integration. AI ships at the speed of the backlog.

Shadow stacks

Blocked teams wire up their own keys and tools. You inherit a sprawl you can't see, support, or secure.

Wasted cycles

Every team re-solves auth, routing, logging, and limits. Duplicated effort slows everyone down.

Why it matters now

AI is now a platform concern, not a project.

Feature requests now come from every product, support, and ops group at once, not a single ML team you can serve by hand.

New providers and models land constantly. Hard-wiring any one of them into apps ages badly and slows the next switch.

When usage is ungoverned, the cost, security, and compliance exposure lands on the platform team regardless of who shipped it.

The solution

A control plane your teams build on.

Put one governed path in front of every model, and let teams self-serve inside the guardrails you set, without re-platforming each one.

A governed self-service catalog

Curate a governed catalog of models and Virtual Models. Teams deploy in a click, or stage first when access or configuration needs validating: self-serve, inside the policy you define once.

  • Vetted model catalog
  • Deploy in a click, or stage and validate first
  • Curated by Workspace Admins, one sanctioned path for every team
Virtual Model Studio: active Virtual Models and their routing

One URL, every model

Apps call a single endpoint and a Virtual Model. Actualyze routes across OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, and Bedrock, with failover and routing policy handled centrally: no per-provider rewiring.

  • Single endpoint for every provider
  • Swap providers behind a Virtual Model, no app changes
  • Intelligent routing and failover built-in
Observability: inference traffic, latency, and reliability

Governance in the request path

Teams onboard under policies you set — self-service team creation, default roles, and access mapped to your org through identity integration. From there, budgets and policy are enforced and logged on every call, so enabling a team doesn't mean trusting it unconditionally.

  • Self-service team creation under approval policies you control
  • Default roles and per-team access through your SSO identity provider (SAML)
  • Budgets and policy enforced and logged on every request

FAQ

Questions from platform teams.

Do developers have to change how they call models?
Barely. Apps keep the OpenAI-compatible SDKs they already use and change three settings: the base URL, the API key, and the model name, which points at a Virtual Model. Routing, failover, and provider swaps happen behind it, so adopting Actualyze doesn't mean rewriting application code.
How do teams get a new model without filing a ticket?
You curate a governed catalog once. Teams self-serve from it within the access and budget rules you've set, so onboarding a model no longer routes through the platform team every time.
Doesn't self-serve mean losing control over security and cost?
The opposite. Guardrails, budgets, audit, and data rules are enforced in the request path. Teams move autonomously inside boundaries you defined, and you still see and control every call.
Can we use our own identity provider and org structure?
Yes. Access maps to the teams and roles you already have through your SSO identity provider (SAML), so permissions follow your existing org structure instead of a parallel one you have to maintain.
What happens when we adopt a new provider or model later?
Add it to the catalog once and put it behind a Virtual Model. Apps that call the Virtual Model pick it up without rewrites, and you can route between or fail over across providers centrally.
Where does this leave the AI gateway some teams already built?
Actualyze replaces the auth, routing, logging, and spend limits (per budget and per key) each team re-solves on its own. You consolidate onto one control plane instead of supporting several near-identical ones.

Enable AI. Don't gatekeep it.

Stand up one governed control plane and let every team build on it, safely and without waiting on you.
