litellm and llmgateway

These are **competitors**: both provide unified API gateways to abstract away provider-specific implementations and route requests across multiple LLM providers, with litellm being significantly more mature and feature-rich (cost tracking, guardrails, loadbalancing) while llmgateway offers a simpler alternative for basic multi-provider routing and analysis.
