Bonito — The only neutral control plane above the hyperscalers

The structural position

Every other player in this category is structurally compromised:

AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Azure AI Foundry are single-cloud by design. None of them can route to the others without killing their own lock-in business model. They will never be neutral.
Kong AI Gateway, Apigee are API-gateway incumbents extending sideways into LLM. They reach the buyer through existing API-management contracts (real distribution advantage), but Apigee is Google-native, and Kong is a TCP/HTTP layer retrofitted to AI workloads.
Portkey, Helicone, LiteLLM, Martian are developer-tier observability/routing proxies. Seed-stage funding, no enterprise governance surface, no agent layer, no KB layer, no compliance posture.
Bonito is the only full-stack AI control plane that is structurally cloud-neutral. The moat is not a feature; it is a structural position that hyperscalers cannot replicate because it would break the business model they extract value from.

What is shipped in production today

OpenAI-compatible gateway live across six AI providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Azure AI, Groq. All six accessible via the same bn- API key.
Cross-provider intelligent routing with five strategies (cost, latency, balanced, failover, A/B test) and automatic cross-region inference on Bedrock.
Multi-provider failover on rate limits, timeouts, 5xx errors. Automatic retry on equivalent models.
Immutable audit ledger across every model call, agent run, KB query, gateway request. Compliance teams answer their questions once.
RAG knowledge bases on pgvector HNSW with 768-dim embeddings and VectorBoost 3.9-8x compression.
Bonobot agents with visual canvas, default-deny tool policy, budget stops, rate limiting, SSRF protection, persistent agent memory (pgvector similarity), scheduled autonomous execution, approval queue with risk assessment.
OpenAI-compatible chat completions, image generation (gpt-image-1, dall-e-3, dall-e-2), and video generation (Sora-2, Veo 2.0/3.0/3.1) on one key.
Three token types — gateway keys (bn-), personal access tokens (bp-), project tokens (bj-) — with per-tier caps and rate limits.
Multi-tenant org isolation, Vault-backed credential storage, AES-256-GCM at-rest encryption.
SSO/SAML across Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, Custom SAML; RBAC; SOC-2 in flight; HIPAA, GDPR, ISO27001 governance checks across all three clouds.
Origami: build agents, KBs, gateway keys, and provider connections by talking — a chat interface that orchestrates the platform instead of configuring it. New category, not a wrapper.

Production deployments today

Bonito is shipping in production across enterprise marketing-creative workflows, regulated-document processing, and customer-support agent flows. Customers run brand-asset generation pipelines, legal-doc triage, and CRM-attached support agents on the same gateway.
