AI Gateway alternativesfor coding agents.
Most gateways treat code as chat text and forward 100% of raw tokens. Velora condenses multi-turn context by 63–90% in RAM with identical agent results.

Why Standard LLM Gateways Fail on Coding Agents
General-purpose LLM proxies were designed for single-turn chatbots and customer support workflows. Autonomous coding agents create a completely different computational profile:
Massive Cumulative Bloat
In a 30-turn agent session, unchanged files and repetitive directory trees are re-transmitted on every single turn. Standard proxies bill you for all 30 redundant copies.
Context Overflow Crashes
When token context reaches 128k or 200k, direct connections crash or begin hallucinating. Velora compacts history, letting agents run 100+ turns reliably without degradation.
Source Code Privacy
Many proxy providers write prompts to persistent databases for telemetry. Velora guarantees volatile RAM-only processing in Frankfurt EU with verified Zero Data Retention.
