 !!! note "Free while in Beta"
     The Pydantic AI Gateway is currently in Beta. You can bring your own key (BYOK) or buy inference through the Gateway (we will eat the card fee for now).

 - **BYOK and managed providers:** Bring your own API keys (BYOK) from LLM providers, or pay for inference directly through the platform.
 - **Multi-provider support:** Access models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Vertex, Groq, and AWS Bedrock. _More providers coming soon_.
 - **Backend observability:** Log every request through [Pydantic Logfire](https://pydantic.dev/logfire) or any OpenTelemetry backend (_coming soon_).
-- **Zero translation**: Unlike traditional AI gateways that translate everything to one common schema, PAIG allows requests to flow through directly in each provider's native format. This gives you immediate access to the new model features as soon as they are released.
-- **Open source with self-hosting**: PAIG's core is [open source](https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai-gateway/) (under [AGPL-3.0](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html)), allowing self-hosting with file-based configuration, instead of using the managed service.
