What this skill does


# Domino AI Gateway Skill

## Description
This skill helps users work with Domino AI Gateway - a secure proxy for accessing external Large Language Model (LLM) providers with centralized management, monitoring, and compliance.

## Activation
Activate this skill when users want to:
- Access LLM providers (OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, etc.) in Domino
- Configure AI Gateway endpoints
- Monitor LLM usage and costs
- Understand secure API key management
- Use LLMs in workspaces and jobs

## What is AI Gateway?

Domino AI Gateway provides:
- **Secure LLM Access**: Proxy to external LLM providers
- **Centralized API Keys**: Keys stored securely, never exposed to users
- **Usage Monitoring**: Track all LLM interactions
- **Access Control**: Granular permissions per endpoint
- **Audit Logging**: Compliance-ready logs

## Supported LLM Providers

| Provider | Models |
|----------|--------|
| OpenAI | GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-3.5 |
| AWS Bedrock | Claude, Titan, Llama 2 |
| Azure OpenAI | GPT-4, GPT-3.5 |
| Anthropic | Claude 3, Claude 2 |
| Google Vertex AI | PaLM, Gemini |
| Cohere | Command, Embed |

## Creating an AI Gateway Endpoint

### Via Domino UI
1. Go to **Endpoints** > **Gateway LLMs**
2. Click **Create Endpoint**
3. Configure:
   - **Name**: Endpoint name (e.g., `openai-gpt4`)
   - **Provider**: Select LLM provider
   - **Model**: Specific model to use
   - **API Key**: Provider API key (stored securely)
   - **Access**: Who can use this endpoint
4. Click **Create**

### Via API
```python
# Create endpoint via Domino API
import requests, os

TOKEN = requests.get("http://localhost:8899/access-token").text.strip()
BASE = os.environ["DOMINO_API_HOST"]

response = requests.post(
    f"{BASE}/api/aigateway/v1/endpoints",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}"},
    json={
        "name": "openai-gpt4",
        "provider": "openai",
        "model": "gpt-4",
        "providerApiKey": "sk-..."
    }
)
```

## Using AI Gateway in Code

### OpenAI-Compatible Interface
AI Gateway provides an OpenAI-compatible interface:

```python
from openai import OpenAI

# Configure client to use AI Gateway
client = OpenAI(
    api_key="not-needed",  # Handled by AI Gateway
    base_url="https://your-domino.com/api/aigateway/v1/openai"
)

# Use like standard OpenAI
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openai-gpt4",  # Your endpoint name
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how are you?"}
    ]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

### With LangChain
```python
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

llm = ChatOpenAI(
    model="openai-gpt4",  # Endpoint name
    openai_api_key="not-needed",
    openai_api_base="https://your-domino.com/api/aigateway/v1/openai"
)

response = llm.invoke("What is machine learning?")
print(response.content)
```

### Direct API Call
```python
import requests, os

TOKEN = requests.get("http://localhost:8899/access-token").text.strip()
BASE = os.environ["DOMINO_API_HOST"]

response = requests.post(
    f"{BASE}/api/aigateway/v1/chat/completions",
    headers={
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}",
    },
    json={
        "model": "openai-gpt4",
        "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
    }
)

result = response.json()
print(result["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])
```

## Access Control

### Endpoint Permissions
Configure who can use each endpoint:
- **Everyone**: All Domino users
- **Specific Users**: Named individuals
- **Organizations**: Specific Domino organizations

### Setting Permissions
1. Go to endpoint settings
2. Click **Access Control**
3. Add users or organizations
4. Save changes

## Monitoring and Logging

### View Usage
1. Go to **Endpoints** > **Gateway LLMs**
2. Click on endpoint name
3. View metrics:
   - Request count
   - Token usage
   - Response times
   - Error rates

### Download Logs
```bash
# Via UI: Endpoints > Gateway LLMs > Download logs

# Logs include:
# - Timestamp
# - User
# - Model
# - Input/Output tokens
# - Response time
# - Status
```

### Log Format
```json
{
  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
  "user": "[email protected]",
  "endpoint": "openai-gpt4",
  "model": "gpt-4",
  "inputTokens": 150,
  "outputTokens": 200,
  "durationMs": 1500,
  "status": "success"
}
```

## Cost Management

### Track Costs
AI Gateway tracks token usage per:
- User
- Project
- Endpoint
- Time period

### Set Limits (Admin)
Admins can configure:
- Token limits per user/project
- Request rate limits
- Cost alerts

## Best Practices

### 1. Use Endpoint Names Consistently
```python
# Define endpoint once
LLM_ENDPOINT = "production-gpt4"

# Use throughout code
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model=LLM_ENDPOINT,
    messages=[...]
)
```

### 2. Handle Rate Limits
```python
import time
from openai import RateLimitError

def call_llm_with_retry(messages, max_retries=3):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            return client.chat.completions.create(
                model="openai-gpt4",
                messages=messages
            )
        except RateLimitError:
            if attempt < max_retries - 1:
                time.sleep(2 ** attempt)
            else:
                raise
```

### 3. Log Important Calls
```python
import logging

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

def query_llm(prompt):
    logger.info(f"Querying LLM with prompt length: {len(prompt)}")
    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="openai-gpt4",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    )
    logger.info(f"Response tokens: {response.usage.total_tokens}")
    return response.choices[0].message.content
```

### 4. Use Streaming for Long Responses
```python
# Streaming response
stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openai-gpt4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a long story"}],
    stream=True
)

for chunk in stream:
    if chunk.choices[0].delta.content:
        print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="")
```

## Security

### API Key Management
- Keys stored in Domino's secure vault
- Never exposed to end users
- Rotatable without code changes

### Data Privacy
- Requests logged for audit
- PII can be masked (admin config)
- Data retention policies configurable

## Troubleshooting

### Authentication Error
```
Error: 401 Unauthorized
```
- Verify Domino API key is valid
- Check endpoint access permissions
- Ensure correct base URL

### Rate Limit Exceeded
```
Error: 429 Too Many Requests
```
- Implement retry logic
- Contact admin for limit increase
- Use multiple endpoints for load distribution

### Model Not Found
```
Error: Model 'model-name' not found
```
- Verify endpoint name is correct
- Check endpoint exists and is active
- Confirm you have access to the endpoint

## API Reference

Before writing or verifying any API call, use the cluster swagger to confirm current endpoint paths and field names. Use public docs for workflow context and field explanations.

**Get the cluster base URL:** `$DOMINO_API_HOST` (injected by Domino into every workspace, job, and app).

Fetch the swagger spec:
```bash
# No authentication required for the public API spec
curl "$DOMINO_API_HOST/assets/public-api.json"
# Browser UI: $DOMINO_API_HOST/assets/lib/swagger-ui/index.html?url=/assets/public-api.json#/
```
