Developers urged to run their own LLM proxies for visibility

Original: If you don't run your own LLM proxy, how do you know whats going on?

A blog post argues that developers using large language model APIs without a self-hosted proxy have little insight into what is actually being sent, returned, logged or spent. The piece, written in blunt language, has drawn attention among engineers debating observability, privacy and cost control in AI-powered applications, with many agreeing that intermediating API traffic is becoming standard practice.

Why now: Growing concern among developers about transparency, privacy and cost when relying on third-party LLM APIs.
