Why deploy Qwen through AI Security Gateway?

Automatic PII Redaction

Every Qwen request is scanned for 28+ PII entity types — SSNs, credit cards, emails, API keys, and more — before it reaches any provider.

Smart Cost Routing

Qwen is available across 2 providers. Our Smart Router picks the cheapest one per-request. 25% managed markup / 0% on Pro BYOK.

Zero Code Changes

Change two lines in your OpenAI SDK — base_url and api_key — and every request flows through AISG. Full backward compatibility.

Full Observability

Per-request logging of token counts, latency, DLP violations, and cost. Never wonder what your AI spend is again.
