Zenlayer Launches AI Gateway to Simplify Global Access to Large Language Models

New service enables unified, low-latency, and intelligent access to AI models worldwide

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zenlayer, the world’s first hyperconnected cloud, today announced the launch of Zenlayer AI Gateway, an intelligent API service that allows AI developers, researchers, and enterprises to access, integrate, and manage multiple large language models (LLMs) and AI services globally through a single interface.

As AI applications boom, developers face rising complexity integrating diverse models, APIs, and data sources across regions. Model providers vary in interfaces, latency, and cost, creating silos that slow innovation. Zenlayer AI Gateway provides a unified entry point to world-class models, image/video generation APIs, and Zenlayer’s distributed inference platform.

Built on Zenlayer’s global private network and 300+ edge nodes, it delivers ultra-low latency access to mainstream AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Sora, DeepSeek, etc.) and custom models, intelligently routing requests by location, load, and response time for optimal performance and efficiency. Mature models can go live the same day, with multi-provider aggregation ensuring high availability and seamless failover through a single Zenlayer account.

“Zenlayer AI Gateway breaks down barriers between models, regions, and providers, giving developers a seamless entry point to the world’s best AI resources,” said Joe Zhu, Founder & CEO of Zenlayer. “It’s how we turn connectivity into intelligence and help power the future of global AI.”

Early adopters are already seeing results. An AI emotional-interaction game developer used Zenlayer AI Gateway to unify regional LLM access, connecting users to matched models in real time. Leveraging Zenlayer’s acceleration and multi-model integration, they reduced developer workload by 30%, latency by 50%, and costs by 20%, delivering faster, more inclusive AI gaming experiences worldwide.

Zenlayer AI Gateway is a powerful addition to its AI-ready service suite, now available for self-service with simple, token-based pay-as-you-go pricing. It will continue expanding support for emerging models and governance features, helping developers and businesses orchestrate complex AI more easily.
