## Description

This project is an AI-focused API gateway and proxy system designed to intercept, standardize, and route requests across heterogeneous language model providers. It functions as a middleware layer that normalizes incoming traffic and manages authentication, ensuring consistent integration across diverse service interfaces.

The system features a programmable routing engine that executes user-defined scripts to evaluate request content in real-time. This allows for dynamic traffic management, where requests are inspected, transformed, and redirected to specific model endpoints based on custom logic rather than static configurations.

Beyond core routing, the project provides a comprehensive suite of tools for configuration and observability. Users can manage gateway settings and environment variables through a command-line interface, export and import configuration presets for consistent environment replication, and monitor operational performance through real-time logging and status indicators.
