Maxim AI (Bifrost)
Bifrost: open-source LLM, MCP and agent gateway.
Maxim AI builds Bifrost, an open-source (Apache-2.0) AI gateway written in Go that acts as an LLM gateway, MCP gateway and agent gateway. It exposes one OpenAI-compatible API across providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, Azure, Mistral, Groq and Ollama, with automatic failover, load balancing, semantic caching, virtual keys, budgets and an MCP 'Code Mode'. The project claims under 200 microseconds of overhead at 5k RPS. Enterprise deployments add clustering, guardrails, adaptive load balancing and private networking.

Durable execution for long-running agent workflows.
Temporal's durable execution engine is widely adopted to make agent pipelines reliable: state survives crashes, retries are automatic, and workflows run for minutes or months. A key piece of serious harness infrastructure.
