  style={{width: '100%', display: 'block', margin: '2rem auto'}}
/>

<br/>

This release introduces built-in guardrails for LiteLLM AI Gateway, allowing you to enforce protections without depending on an external guardrail API.

- **Blocking Keywords** - Block known sensitive keywords like "litellm", "python", etc.
- **Pattern Detection** - Block known sensitive patterns like emails, Social Security Numbers, API keys, etc.
- **Custom Regex Patterns** - Define custom regex patterns for your specific use case.


Get started with the built-in guardrails on AI Gateway [here](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/guardrails/litellm_content_filter).

### Performance – `/responses` 19× Lower Median Latency

This update significantly improves `/responses` latency by integrating our internal network management for connection handling, eliminating per-request setup overhead.

#### Results

| Metric | Before | After | Improvement |
|--------|--------|-------|-------------|
| Median latency | 3,600 ms | **190 ms** | **−95% (~19× faster)** |
| p95 latency | 4,300 ms | **280 ms** | −93% |
| p99 latency | 4,600 ms | **590 ms** | −87% |
| Average latency | 3,571 ms | **208 ms** | −94% |
| RPS | 231 | **1,059** | +358% |

#### Test Setup

| Category | Specification |
|----------|---------------|
| **Load Testing** | Locust: 1,000 concurrent users, 500 ramp-up |
