Metadata-based routing works well when you have policy-driven or static strategies, for example, routing by tenant, region, or business tier. But what if you want to optimize routing per request?

Portkey now allows you to set up conditional routing on request parameters too.

This gives you more flexibility and better performance, letting you route dynamically based on each request’s conditions (like input length, urgency, or task type).

👉 See how you can set it up here → 

We’ve rolled out a set of improvements across multiple providers 👇

• DashScope: Updated supported parameters

• Vertex AI: Added timeRangeFilter support for Google Search tool
• OpenAI & Azure OpenAI: New parameters added for GPT-5 compatibility
• OpenRouter: Now returns reasoning messages when provided by the model

• Fireworks:

1. Better handling of non-ASCII characters in file uploads
2. Removed unnecessary response transforms → faster processing

Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano-banana) is Google’s next-gen model for image generation and editing. It brings fast, high-quality results with multi-image fusion, natual-language editing and more!

With Portkey, you can bring Gemini 2.5 Flash Image into production with:

✅ Unified access via the AI Gateway

✅ Full observability: logs, latency, and spend

✅ Budget and rate-limit controls across teams and apps

You can now send telemetry data from any OTel-compatible source directly into Portkey’s observability platform.

This gives you:

✅ One platform to view LLM calls and app-level events together

✅ Correlation between model interactions and system behavior

✅ End-to-end insight into performance, cost, and compliance

👉 Set up your OTel endpoint in Portkey

In addition to 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘵.𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, we now support the 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 route, available for Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, and Vertex AI.

What this means for you:

• Remote MCP for Anthropic now works out of the box on Portkey
• Complete support for Claude Code
• Switch to Portkey in the Anthropic SDK by just changing the base URL
• Use 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘤 in LangChain without extra setup

Whether you’re using 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘵.𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 or 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴, Portkey gives you the same foundation: routing, guardrails, usage tracking, retries, and caching.

Read more about this in our documentation 

You can now define and enforce multiple guardrail policies at the workspace-level, making it easier to secure usage, filter content, and maintain compliance across your team.

Managing guardrails at scale just got easier. You can now create, update, retrieve, delete, and list guardrails directly via API.

This makes it simple to keep policies consistent across environments, automate changes, and integrate guardrail management into your CI/CD workflows.
