TOKENMAXXING TRILOGY · PART 2 OF 3: The Architecture of Governed AI Usage

Part 2 of the Tokenmaxxing Trilogy describes TrueFoundry’s AI Gateway architecture, which wraps four governance envelopes (identity, policy, safety, observability) around each AI request to prevent cost spiraling and security issues. The gateway achieves roughly 10 ms latency while handling 350+ RPS on a single vCPU, using metadata-keyed controls and virtual model routing across 1000+ LLMs and MCP servers.
