Tetrate Launches Tech Preview Of 'Agent Operations Director' For Genai ROI Assessment And Risk Governance

Real-time insights and intelligent control of LLM traffic enhance ML infrastructure efficiency.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tetrate, a leader in dynamic gateways for autonomous traffic orchestration, today announced the launch of a technical preview for its new Tetrate Agent Operations Director, designed to empower enterprises to maximize the return on investment (ROI) from generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) initiatives. Agent Operations Director enables machine learning (ML) infrastructure teams and application developers to optimize the performance of AI-powered applications and improve workflow efficiency by providing real-time insights and by intelligently orchestrating large language model (LLM) traffic.

Tetrate Agent Operations Director is in technical preview. The early access program is now open for users to get started with ROI assessment and risk governance of GenAI initiatives.

Tetrate Agent Operations Director seamlessly discovers, intercepts and manages GenAI usage without disrupting application development, providing real-time visibility into resource consumption per application and enabling organizations to analyze, budget and allocate costs effectively. Built on Envoy AI Gateway, it empowers developers and infrastructure teams to optimize ROI throughout the AI initiative lifecycle while ensuring scalable and high-performance ML infrastructure.

"As our customers invest more in LLMs, they increasingly need better risk and cost governance. Gaining an understanding of how much they're spending on different LLMs, whether these are sanctioned models, and which LLM to use in each situation can help them optimize their investment," said David Wang, head of product management at Tetrate. "We built Tetrate Agent Operations Director to give enterprises the monitoring and optimization capabilities to ensure inference workloads are cost-effective and safe and deliver the efficiency that both users and developers expect."

Cost Management Becomes a Critical Need as AI Investments Surge

As enterprises rush to integrate AI, many—especially in regulated environments—have encouraged widespread GenAI adoption, only to face mounting pressure to deliver on ROI promises. In the current environment of changing prices, evolving models, and high operational risk, organizations struggle to keep AI initiatives on track.

This uncertainty fuels Shadow AI: unauthorized and unmanaged AI usage. This acts as a hidden cost for businesses. Gartner Research estimates that the average GenAI project investment in 2024 reached $5 million, yet cost miscalculations for these projects were 10 times higher than those for traditional infrastructure. As a result, by 2025, 30% of AI proof-of-concept initiatives could be abandoned.^¹ Meanwhile, McKinsey projects that GenAI could add $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion in annual economic value across industries, but only for companies that can effectively manage their AI investments.^² Staying competitive means taking control of GenAI resources to maximize efficiency, minimize risk and ensure AI delivers on its promise.

Maximizing GenAI ROI with Tetrate Agent Operations Director

Tetrate Agent Operations Director is the latest addition to the Tetrate product portfolio, extending autonomous traffic orchestration to GenAI inference workloads. Built atop the battle-tested Envoy AI Gateway, it provides observability into LLM traffic and offers ML platform teams and application developers the appropriate observability and controls to:

Discover, intercept and manage GenAI usage without disrupting application development
Analyze and budget GenAI resources with real-time usage per app and tie to organizational ownership
Stop consumption of unsanctioned models and providers
Observe the consumption pattern over time and substitute expensive models with cheaper alternatives without degradation
Observe factors that are driving GenAI costs and provide a fallback to avoid service interruption with provider outage

Agent Operations Director particularly meets the needs for inference traffic orchestration in highly regulated environments, including financial services, government and health care/life science applications.
