Background and Pain Points
When enterprises build multi-model AI customer service, they often face challenges such as low efficiency of manual model switching and slow fault recovery, which can be systematically solved by Portkey through the intelligent routing function of the AI gateway.
Specific operational programs
- Configuring Load Balancing
In the Routing settings of the Portkey dashboard, add all available model API keys (e.g., GPT-4, Claude, etc.), turn on the Load Balancing switch, and the system will automatically distribute requests according to the preset policy - Setting up failover
Add a chain of alternate models in Fallbacks option (e.g., Primary GPT-4 → Alternate Claude → Locally Deployed Model), customize trigger conditions (e.g., timeout of 5 seconds or return of error code) - Real-time monitoring and adjustment
Monitor the response latency of each model through the Analytics panel (200-500ms threshold is recommended), abnormal models will be automatically downgraded and the technical team will be notified.
Optimization Recommendations
For high concurrency scenarios, it can be used with the intelligent caching function to reduce repeated calculations of the same problem and further increase the response speed above 40%.
