Portkey is Joining Hacktoberfest

Portkey today is one of the most popular and performant open source AI Gateways in the market, and the big reason for that is — the Portkey Community. We're thrilled to give back to the community with Hacktoberfest this year and reward top contributors with amazing prizes!

Quick Introduction to Portkey Gateway

Our open source AI Gateway lets you connect, load balance, setup fallbacks and seamlessly manage 250+ AI models using an OpenAI compatible API. It was launched early this year and since then, we've had 40+ contributors adding new providers, guardrails, and fixing bugs every day!

The project just crossed 6,000 stars on Github ⭐️

How You Can Contribute

We are accepting Hacktoberfest contributions for the Gateway repo as well as for its docs!

1. Portkey Gateway
2. Portkey Docs

Look for issues tagged with hacktoberfest to find eligible contributions. We're particularly excited about contributions in these areas:

• New guardrails and plugins for our guardrails library
• Integrations with additional LLM providers
• Documentation improvements and fixes

But don't let that limit you – we welcome contributions across all areas of our projects!
