SGLang vs WSO2 AI Gateway

SGLang is a free, open-source inference framework for serving large language, vision-language and diffusion models. It targets agentic workloads, reinforcement-learning rollouts and large-scale serving, from one GPU to distributed clusters. Runtime features include RadixAttention, prefix caching and multi-GPU parallelism. Listed optimizations include disaggregated prefill and decode, speculative decoding, a zero-overhead scheduler and optimized GPU kernels. Supported models include DeepSeek, Qwen, GPT-OSS, Llama, Mistral and GLM. SGLang works with Hugging Face and OpenAI APIs and exposes OpenAI-compatible endpoints. It installs with pip or Docker and supports self-hosted deployment. Hardware support spans NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, Google TPUs, Intel GPUs and CPUs, Apple Silicon, Huawei Ascend NPUs and Moore Threads GPUs. SGLang Diffusion adds image and video generation. The Apache-2.0 license permits open-source use.

WSO2 AI Gateway governs AI APIs and generative AI services with usage visibility, guardrails, prompt management, and semantic caching. Its out-of-the-box language-model support includes OpenAI, Mistral AI, and Azure OpenAI. Built-in controls check prompts semantically, mask PII, validate JSON Schema and regex rules, limit output length, and check URLs; Azure Content Safety and AWS Bedrock Guardrails are listed as external integrations. The gateway monitors backend limits by request and token count and manages subscription access. Prompt templates can standardize inputs and add role or context instructions. Model-level analytics and semantic caching are intended to help reduce repeated calls and improve response speed and cost efficiency. WSO2 also describes converting REST APIs into MCP-compatible tools and governing access to MCP servers. Moesif-powered analytics tracks AI and agent traffic. Deployment can be on-premises or in the cloud. The SaaS-only 30-day trial costs nothing and includes 1M AI Gateway events, five managed LLM APIs, and one hybrid gateway. Growth costs $119 a month; Enterprise pricing is custom.
