  "summary": "Bifrost by Maxim AI is an LLM, MCP, and agent gateway that provides unified routing, automatic failover, load balancing, semantic caching, and spend controls across multiple AI providers through an OpenAI-compatible REST API. It targets enterprise teams that need governance, observability, and cost management over LLM usage. The core product is open-source under Apache 2.0 for self-hosting, while enterprise features including guardrails, RBAC, SSO, audit logs, and in-VPC deployment require a custom-priced plan. SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance are available at the enterprise tier.",
