Key point

Plano, an AI-native proxy server that solves the deployment and operational complexity of agent apps, has been unveiled.

Details

Plano is an AI-native data plane designed to solve complex infrastructure problems such as routing, guardrails, and observability that arise when transitioning agent applications to production environments.

Built in Rust on top of the Envoy proxy, it operates out-of-process, separated from application code, and is notable for not being tied to any specific language or framework.

Core Features:

  • Orchestration: Performs low-latency routing between agents using a lightweight LLM.
  • Model Agility: Manages models via aliases (semantic names), enabling model swaps without code changes.
  • Agentic Signals: Automatically collects traces and metrics via OpenTelemetry.
  • Filter Chains: Consistently applies jailbreak prevention and moderation policies.

Users can declare agents through YAML configuration, and agents using the OpenAI-compatible API can be managed in an integrated way through Plano.
