Kong AI Gateway: Prompt Compression

High token consumption from long prompts can degrade model performance and lead to expensive, inefficient LLM operations. This video demonstrates how to solve that problem using Kong's AI Gateway. AI Prompt Compressor Plugin: See how this plugin intelligently compresses incoming prompts before they hit the model. It summarizes context, removes redundant information, and trims excess tokens—all while preserving the original meaning.This could lead to significant cost savings and improved performance.

TCP Proxy: Expose TCP Ports Publicly

Today, we’re announcing the public preview of TCP Proxy — a new way to expose TCP ports publicly. Until now, services on Koyeb could only be publicly exposed via HTTP, HTTP/2, WebSocket, and gRPC protocols. TCP-based workloads were limited to private access within the mesh network for service-to-service communication. With TCP Proxy, that changes. You can now make any TCP service publicly accessible with minimal configuration.

How to Build a Multi-LLM AI Agent with Kong AI Gateway and LangGraph

In the last two parts of this series, we discussed How to Strengthen a ReAct AI Agent with Kong AI Gateway and How to Build a Single-LLM AI Agent with Kong AI Gateway and LangGraph. In this third and final part, we're going to evolve the AI Agent with multiple LLMs and Semantic Routing policies across them. In this blog post, we'll also explore new capabilities introduced in Kong AI Gateway 3.11 that support other GenAI infrastructures.
