## Article Body
### We're Live 🚀

Today, we're excited to announce that **PipeLLM is now generally available**.

PipeLLM is a unified API gateway for large language models. It gives developers and teams one endpoint to access models from every major AI provider — without switching SDKs, managing multiple API keys, or rewriting integration code.

### The Problem We're Solving

The AI landscape moves fast. New models launch every week. Teams want to experiment with Claude for coding tasks, GPT-4.1 for reasoning, Gemini for multimodal, and DeepSeek for cost efficiency — often within the same product.

But each provider comes with its own SDK format, authentication system, and billing dashboard. The result? Engineering teams spend more time managing integrations than building features.

We built PipeLLM to fix that.

### How It Works

**One line. That's all it takes.**

```python
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.pipellm.ai/openai/v1",  # ← this line
    api_key="your-pipellm-key"
)
# Now use any model from any provider
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)
```

Point your existing OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gen AI SDK to PipeLLM, and you instantly gain access to every supported model. No new dependencies. No migration project.

### What Ships Today

#### Automatic Protocol Translation

Use the OpenAI SDK to call Claude. Use the Anthropic SDK to call Gemini. PipeLLM translates between formats in real time — including tool calls, streaming, and multimodal inputs.

#### 50+ Models, One Endpoint

Access models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Meta, Mistral, and more. New models are added within hours of release.

#### Unified Usage Dashboard

Track spending, latency, and token usage across all providers in a single dashboard. Break down costs by team, project, or model.

#### Enterprise-Ready Security

SOC 2 compliant infrastructure. API key management with fine-grained permissions. Full request audit logging. Your prompts are never stored or logged.

#### Zero Added Latency

PipeLLM operates as a direct proxy with stream-through architecture. No request buffering, no intermediary storage. Measured overhead is consistently under 10ms.

### Built for Teams

PipeLLM isn't just for individual developers. We built it for engineering teams that need:

- **Centralized API key management** — issue one key per team, not one per provider
- **Budget controls** — set spending limits per project or department
- **Audit trails** — every request logged for compliance and debugging
- **Model access policies** — control which teams can use which models

### Pricing

PipeLLM charges a small margin on top of each provider's native pricing. There are no platform fees, no minimum commitments, and no hidden costs. You pay for what you use.

Every new account starts with **$5 in free credits** — enough to test with any model.

### What's Next

This launch is just the beginning. Here's what's on our roadmap:

- **Prompt caching** across providers for cost reduction
- **Automatic fallback routing** when a provider experiences downtime
- **Custom model aliases** for simplified team workflows
- **Self-hosted gateway** option for enterprises with strict data residency requirements

### Get Started

Ready to try PipeLLM? It takes less than 2 minutes:

1. **Sign up** at [console.pipellm.ai](https://console.pipellm.ai/)
2. **Create an API key** in the dashboard
3. **Change your base URL** to [`https://api.pipellm.ai`](https://api.pipellm.ai)
4. **Start building** with any model from any provider

Read the full documentation at [docs.pipellm.ai](https://docs.pipellm.ai/).

We can't wait to see what you build.
