Why developers are running their own LLM proxies
Original: If you don't run your own LLM proxy, how do you know whats going on?
A developer argues that anyone building on large language models should route their API traffic through a self-hosted proxy, otherwise they have no visibility into what is actually being sent and returned. The piece argues logging requests and responses is essential for debugging, cost control and privacy. The debate has drawn attention among AI developers who rely on third-party providers like OpenAI and Anthropic without inspecting the traffic flowing to them.
Why now: Growing reliance on third-party LLM APIs has made transparency, logging and privacy of AI traffic a hot topic among developers.
