After talking to 20+ teams running LLMs in production, 3 pain points kept coming up independently

After posting in several subreddits and talking to teams using OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini in production, a few pain points kept coming up independently: **1. "Basics shouldn't be Enterprise-only"** Usage alerts, team permissions, cost visibility, data export — all locked behind expensive enterprise plans. Teams of 5–50 people are stuck paying for features they don't need just to get the basics. **2. The agent observability gap** Most gateways treat agent calls like regular API calls. But when one task triggers dozens of recursive calls across multiple models, you can't trace what happened or attribute cost to a specific workflow. You just get a bill. **3. New model support lag** Every time a new model drops, there's a waiting game. Days or weeks before you can use it through your gateway. In 2025, that's too slow. The fix isn't another full-featured gateway. It's a lightweight layer that solves these three things without Enterprise pricing — fast model support via transparent proxy, workflow-level cost visibility, and team controls that don't require an IT department. I'm actually building something in this direction — dropped a link in this week's project display thread if you're curious. **What am I missing? Anything you'd add to this list?**
