Vera AI has launched a new platform called “AI Gateway” to help companies deploy artificial intelligence safely and efficiently, reports Michael Nuñez for VentureBeat. The platform offers customizable safeguards and model routing capabilities. “We’ve focused ourselves squarely on the last mile problems, which (…) are actually quite hard,” explains Liz O’Sullivan, CEO and co-founder of Vera AI. The startup is already processing tens of thousands of model requests per month for paying customers. It offers API-based pricing at one cent per call and a 30-day free trial.
