## What the story says

Fontys ICT runs an institutional AI platform where Portkey acts as the gateway layer between an OpenWebUI frontend and a mix of commercial, EU-hosted and self-hosted model providers. The gateway enforces access, routing and budget rules for students and staff.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Portkey and Fontys ICT, not ours.

> Fontys ICT designed its platform around a simple principle: separate user experience, governance, and model providers, so each can evolve independently without compromising institutional control. Portkey was selected as the gateway layer after evaluating custom-built and alternative options.

> One of the major advantages that we see is the zero day turnover time in implementing a new model
