Reviewer scorecard
“The multimodal capabilities are genuinely best-in-class. Analyzing images, videos, and code in the same conversation is powerful for debugging visual UIs.”
“The gateway approach adds caching, fallbacks, and guardrails without code changes. Production AI apps need this layer.”
“Deep Think is impressive for hard problems but the standard mode still hallucinates more than Claude. Use the right mode for the right task.”
“Reliability features — caching, retries, fallbacks — are table stakes for production AI. Portkey makes them easy.”
“Google's advantage is integration — Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Meet, Maps. When AI is everywhere in your workflow, the compound value is enormous.”
“AI gateways will be standard infrastructure. Portkey's focus on reliability and guardrails addresses real production needs.”
