We are launching a new AI gateway that takes a different approach to auth. Rather than authenticating requests to AI providers with API keys, it authenticates the network connection itself via a desktop app. Each user gets a WireGuard tunnel back to the gateway, established after they log in through their existing identity provider (Okta, Azure, Google, etc) via a desktop app. That tunnel is the auth, so there is no key to generate, embed, rotate, or leak,…
