ai-proxy-multi
The ai-proxy-multi plugin simplifies access to LLM and embedding models by transforming plugin configurations into the designated request format for OpenAI, DeepSeek, and other OpenAI-compatible APIs. It extends the capabilities of ai-proxy with load balancing, retries, fallbacks, and health checks.
In addition, the plugin also supports logging LLM request information in the access log, such as token usage, model, time to the first response, and more.
This plugin is currently only available in API7 Enterprise and will become available in APISIX in the 3.12.0 release.
Examples
The examples below demonstrate how you can configure ai-proxy-multi for different scenarios.
Load Balance between Instances
The following example demonstrates how you can configure two models for load balancing, forwarding 80% of the traffic to one instance and 20% to the other.
For demonstration and easier differentiation, you will be configuring one OpenAI instance and one DeepSeek instance as the upstream LLM services.
Create a route as such and update with your LLM providers, models, API keys, and endpoints if applicable:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes" -X PUT \
-H "X-API-KEY: ${ADMIN_API_KEY}" \
-d '{
"id": "ai-proxy-multi-route",
"uri": "/anything",
"methods": ["POST"],
"plugins": {
"ai-proxy-multi": {
"instances": [
{
"name": "openai-instance",
"provider": "openai",
"weight": 8,
"auth": {
"header": {
"Authorization": "Bearer '"$OPENAI_API_KEY"'"
}
},
"options": {
"model": "gpt-4"
}
},
{
"name": "deepseek-instance",
"provider": "deepseek",
"weight": 2,
"auth": {
"header": {
"Authorization": "Bearer '"$DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"'"
}
},
"options": {
"model": "deepseek-chat"
}
}
]
}
}
}'
❶ Configure the weight for openai-instance to be 8.
❷ Configure the weight for deepseek-instance to be 2.
Send 10 POST requests to the route with a system prompt and a sample user question in the request body, to see the number of requests forwarded to OpenAI and DeepSeek:
openai_count=0
deepseek_count=0
for i in {1..10}; do
model=$(curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:9080/anything" -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"messages": [
{ "role": "system", "content": "You are a mathematician" },
{ "role": "user", "content": "What is 1+1?" }
]
}' | jq -r '.model')
if [[ "$model" == *"gpt-4"* ]]; then
((openai_count++))
elif [[ "$model" == "deepseek-chat" ]]; then
((deepseek_count++))
fi
done
echo "OpenAI responses: $openai_count"
echo "DeepSeek responses: $deepseek_count"
You should see a response similar to the following:
OpenAI responses: 8
DeepSeek responses: 2
Configure Instance Priority and Rate Limiting
The following example demonstrates how you can configure two models with different priorities and apply rate limiting on the instance with a higher priority. In the case where fallback_strategy is set to instance_health_and_rate_limiting, the plugin should continue to forward requests to the low priority instance once the high priority instance's rate limiting quota is fully consumed.
Create a route as such and update with your LLM providers, models, API keys, and endpoints if applicable:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes" -X PUT \
-H "X-API-KEY: ${ADMIN_API_KEY}" \
-d '{
"id": "ai-proxy-multi-route",
"uri": "/anything",
"methods": ["POST"],
"plugins": {
"ai-proxy-multi": {

"instances": [
{
"name": "openai-instance",
"provider": "openai",
"priority": 1,

"provider": "deepseek",
"priority": 0,
"weight": 0,
"auth": {
"header": {
"Authorization": "Bearer '"$DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"'"
}
},
"options": {
"model": "deepseek-chat"
}
}
]
},
"ai-rate-limiting": {
"instances": [
{
"name": "openai-instance",
"limit": 10,
"time_window": 60
}
],
"limit_strategy": "total_tokens"
}
}
}'
❶ Set the fallback_strategy to instance_health_and_rate_limiting.
❷ Set a higher priority on openai-instance instance.
❸ Set a lower priority on deepseek-instance instance.
❹ Apply rate limiting on openai-instance instance.
❺ Configure a quota of 10 tokens.
❻ Configure the time window to be 60 seconds.
❼ Apply rate limiting by total_tokens.
Send a POST request to the route with a system prompt and a sample user question in the request body:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/anything" -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"messages": [
{ "role": "system", "content": "You are a mathematician" },
{ "role": "user", "content": "What is 1+1?" }
]
}'
You should receive a response similar to the following:
{
...,
"model": "gpt-4-0613",
"choices": [
{
"index": 0,
"message": {
"role": "assistant",
"content": "1+1 equals 2.",
"refusal": null

"audio_tokens": 0,
"accepted_prediction_tokens": 0,
"rejected_prediction_tokens": 0
}
},
"service_tier": "default",
"system_fingerprint": null
}
Since the total_tokens value exceeds the configured quota of 10, the next request within the 60-second window is expected to be forwarded to the other instance.
Within the same 60-second window, send another POST request to the route:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/anything" -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"messages": [
{ "role": "system", "content": "You are a mathematician" },

Load Balance and Rate Limit by Consumers
The following example demonstrates how you can configure two models for load balancing and apply rate limiting by consumer.
Create a consumer johndoe and a rate limiting quota of 10 tokens in a 60-second window on openai-instance instance:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers" -X PUT \
-H "X-API-KEY: ${ADMIN_API_KEY}" \
-d '{
"username": "johndoe",
"plugins": {
"ai-rate-limiting": {

"name": "openai-instance",
"limit": 10,
"time_window": 60
}
],
"rejected_code": 429,
"limit_strategy": "total_tokens"
}
}
}'
Configure key-auth credential for johndoe:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers/johndoe/credentials" -X PUT \
-H "X-API-KEY: ${ADMIN_API_KEY}" \
-d '{
"id": "cred-john-key-auth",
"plugins": {
"key-auth": {

}
}
}'
Create another consumer janedoe and a rate limiting quota of 10 tokens in a 60-second window on deepseek-instance instance:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers" -X PUT \
-H "X-API-KEY: ${ADMIN_API_KEY}" \
-d '{
"username": "johndoe",

This means that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration. The heavier the object and the faster it accelerates, the greater the force.\n\n3) Newton's Third Law, also known as the law of action and reaction, states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Essentially, any force exerted onto a body will create a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the object that exerted the first force.\n\nRemember, these laws become less accurate when considering speeds near the speed of light (where Einstein's theory of relativity becomes more appropriate) or objects very small or very large.

❶ Update the type of active health checks.
❷ Update the host, if available.
❸ Update the probing path.
❹ Configure the time interval in seconds for periodically checking healthy nodes.
❺ Configure the success count threshold for ruling if an upstream node is healthy.
❻ Configure the time interval in seconds for periodically checking unhealthy nodes.
❼ Configure the timeout count threshold for ruling if an upstream node is unhealthy.
For verification, the behaviours should be consistent with the verification in Active Health Checks.
Include LLM Information in Access Log
The following example demonstrates how you can log LLM request related information in the gateway's access log to improve analytics and audit. The following variables are available:
request_type: Type of request, where the value could betraditional_http,ai_chat, orai_stream.llm_time_to_first_token: Duration from request sending to the first token received from the LLM service, in milliseconds.llm_model: LLM model.llm_prompt_tokens: Number of tokens in the prompt.llm_completion_tokens: Number of chat completion tokens in the prompt.
The usage in this example currently only works in API7 Enterprise and will become available in APISIX 3.13.0.
Update the access log format in your configuration file to include additional LLM related variables:
nginx_config:
http:
access_log_format: "$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] $http_host \"$request_line\" $status $body_bytes_sent $request_time \"$http_referer\" \"$http_user_agent\" $upstream_addr $upstream_status $upstream_response_time \"$upstream_scheme://$upstream_host$upstream_uri\" \"$apisix_request_id\" \"$request_type\" \"$llm_time_to_first_token\" \"$llm_model\" \"$llm_prompt_tokens\" \"$llm_completion_tokens\""
Reload the gateway for configuration changes to take effect.
Next, create a route with the ai-proxy-multi plugin and send a request. For instance, if the request is forwarded to OpenAI and you receive the following response:
{
...,
"model": "gpt-4-0613",
"choices": [
{
"index": 0,
"message": {
"role": "assistant",
"content": "1+1 equals 2.",
"refusal": null,
"annotations": []
},
"logprobs": null,
"finish_reason": "stop"
}
],
"usage": {
"prompt_tokens": 23,
"completion_tokens": 8,
"total_tokens": 31,
"prompt_tokens_details": {
"cached_tokens": 0,
"audio_tokens": 0
},
...
},
"service_tier": "default",
"system_fingerprint": null
}
In the gateway's access log, you should see a log entry similar to the following:
192.168.215.1 - - [21/Mar/2025:04:28:03 +0000] api.openai.com "POST /anything HTTP/1.1" 200 804 2.858 "-" "curl/8.6.0" - - - "http://api.openai.com" "5c5e0b95f8d303cb81e4dc456a4b12d9" "ai_chat" "2858" "gpt-4" "23" "8"
The access log entry shows the request type is ai_chat, time to first token is 2858 milliseconds, LLM model is gpt-4, prompt token usage is 23, and completion token usage is 8.
