Zenlayer, the world’s first hyperconnected cloud, has launched Zenlayer AI Gateway, a new intelligent API service designed to simplify global access to large language models (LLMs) and other AI services. The platform enables developers, researchers, and enterprises to seamlessly integrate, manage, and deploy multiple AI models across regions through a single unified interface. As AI applications continue to grow in complexity and reach, developers face mounting challenges in connecting diverse models, APIs, and data sources across different geographies. Differences in latency, pricing, and integration requirements often create fragmented workflows that slow innovation. Zenlayer AI Gateway addresses these issues by providing a centralized, intelligent entry point to top-tier AI models—including ChatGPT, Claude, Sora, DeepSeek, and custom-built models—as well as image and video generation APIs, all powered by Zenlayer’s distributed inference platform. Built on Zenlayer’s global private network and its network of over 300 edge nodes spanning 50 countries, the gateway delivers ultra-low latency access to AI services worldwide. It intelligently routes requests based on real-time factors such as user location, network load, and response time, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. Developers can deploy mature models within the same day and benefit from multi-provider aggregation, which enhances availability and enables automatic failover—all managed 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 and CEO of Zenlayer. “It’s how we turn connectivity into intelligence and help power the future of global AI.” Early adopters are already experiencing tangible benefits. One AI-powered emotional-interaction game developer used the gateway to unify access to regional LLMs, enabling real-time matching of users with the most suitable models. By leveraging Zenlayer’s edge acceleration and multi-model integration, the company reduced developer workload by 30%, cut latency by 50%, and lowered costs by 20%, delivering faster and more inclusive AI-driven gaming experiences across markets. Zenlayer AI Gateway is now available for self-service with straightforward, token-based pay-as-you-go pricing. The platform is continuously expanding support for emerging AI models and adding governance features to help organizations manage compliance, performance, and cost across complex AI deployments. Zenlayer is a hyperconnected cloud platform that enables AI innovation through distributed inference and global connectivity. With more than 300 edge nodes in 50 countries, 180+ Tbps of global bandwidth, and over 10,000 direct cloud and network connections, Zenlayer allows businesses to reach 85% of the internet population within 25 milliseconds.
