Portkey joins Hacktoberfest – DEV community

Portkey is one of the most popular and performant open source AI gateways on the market today, and the main reason for that is: the Portkey community. We’re excited to give back to the community with Hacktoberfest this year and reward top contributors with great prizes!

Quick introduction to Portkey Gateway

Our open source AI Gateway lets you connect, load balance, set fallbacks, and manage over 250 AI models seamlessly using an OpenAI-compatible API. It was launched early this year and since then we’ve had over 40 contributors adding new providers, guardrails and bugs every day!

The project just crossed 6,000 stars on Github ⭐️

How you can contribute

We accept Hacktoberfest contributions for both the Gateway repository and its associated documents!

1. Portkey gateway
2. Portkey documents

Look for problems with the tag hacktoberfest to find eligible contributions. We are especially excited about contributions in these areas:

• New guardrails and plugins for our guardrail library
• Integrations with additional LLM providers
• Documentation improvements and fixes

But don’t let that limit you – we welcome contributions in all areas of our projects!

Awards and recognition

Here’s what’s in store:

• For top contributors: A pair of AirPods Pro (2nd generation)
• For all contributors with 2+ successful contributions: Portkey AI Swag Box with T-shirts and more!
