An AI-native proxy and data plane for agentic applications, providing built-in orchestration, safety, observability, and smart LLM routing.
Plano is an AI-native proxy and data plane that handles orchestration, model management, and observability for agentic applications. It solves the problem of building repetitive 'hidden middleware' for production deployment by centralizing routing, safety, and tracing concerns. Developers can use any language or framework while Plano manages the infrastructure glue.
Developers and teams building multi-agent AI applications that need reliable, observable, and safe production deployment. It's ideal for those who want to avoid vendor lock-in and framework-specific abstractions.
Plano decouples infrastructure from application logic, offering production-grade routing with lightweight LLMs at lower cost and latency. It provides automatic observability and model agility without requiring code instrumentation or provider-specific adaptations.
Plano is an AI-native proxy and data plane for agentic apps — with built-in orchestration, safety, observability, and smart LLM routing so you stay focused on your agents core logic.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Uses purpose-built, small LLMs (e.g., 4B parameters) for efficient routing based on natural language descriptions, avoiding costly and slow framework overhead.
Abstracts multiple provider APIs into a single interface with smart routing by model name or alias, simplifying model management and fallbacks.
Automatically captures OpenTelemetry traces and agentic signals without any instrumentation code, enabling instant visibility into agent performance.
Works with any language or AI framework via OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoints, preventing vendor lock-in and allowing flexible technology choices.
Requires deploying and maintaining a separate proxy server, which adds complexity to infrastructure management compared to embedded solutions.
As a newer project, it has a smaller community and fewer third-party integrations than established frameworks, potentially leading to support gaps.
Setting up YAML files for agents, routing, and filters requires understanding Plano's specific schema, which might be non-trivial for beginners.
