The good thing about being in a simulation is that we can alter it.
Every religion in history has promised miracles and warned of the apocalypse. Anthropic is the first to file both with the SEC.
ServiceNow is the governed execution layer for enterprise AI. Our partners see the value the Control Tower brings customers and are ready to join us to help enterprises adopt AI safely and at scale.
Today we launched the Control Tower Alliance, a new ecosystem across AI, cloud infrastructure, security, governance, value measurement and token metering. Founding members include @AnthropicAI , @awscloud , @Cisco , @hiddenlayersec , @kong , @nvidia , @OpenAI , @okta , @zenitysec , @stripe , and WitnessAI.
No single technology provider can see or protect everything on its own. AI governance at scale requires an ecosystem working on an open platform.
Thank you to our partners who are ready to build together, deliver with governance, and create a curated set of AI solutions that customers can easily adopt and scale rapidly.

Pumped to have @kong as founding partner with @ServiceNow and many other AI companies.
When there’s no shortage of AI agents and tools to choose from, how do you know which ones are safe to put to work?
We’re launching the ServiceNow Control Tower Alliance with leading AI, cloud, and security companies to make finding solutions you can trust simple.
Together, we will build AI solutions on the Super Intelligence Control Tower, with shared standards for agent identity and safety guardrails.
For customers, that means a curated set of solutions, qualified and certified by ServiceNow before they’re listed, so you can adopt AI with governance in place from the start.
Founding members of the Control Tower Alliance include:
➡️ @AnthropicAI
➡️ @AWS
➡️ @Cisco
➡️ @hiddenlayersec
➡️ @kong
➡️ @nvidia
➡️ @okta
➡️ @OpenAI
➡️ @stripe
➡️ WitnessAI

Excited for Kong to partner with @ServiceNow to help enforce Agentic traffic from IT to Infrastructure.
Great coffee chat with @EPro! Model routing is a huge bottleneck.
@SpaceXSI platform is here, and Kong is excited to be a part of it 🚀
Kong Konnect and Volcano are both available TODAY in the marketplace. Build, connect, and govern from one place.

People forget that “as a service” is perhaps the most important thing in software today.
The exploits of the last few days are a good reminder of why we use SaaS. Our company pays for ~20 SaaS services. If we self-hosted them, we’d now be responsible for all of the security patches this week. Instead, our small monthly bill pays for their teams to handle everything.

Kong CEO @sonicaghi reveals token traffic through its gateways is growing 140x year over year, approaching 1 quadrillion tokens:
"The number of tokens is growing exponentially. For the subset that we see, we are running about 500 trillion tokens, going to a quadrillion soon, because it’s growing 140x year over year."
"The cost per token is going down, and inference will still be exploding. We’re gonna live in this enterprise world that is more multi-model, cheaper tokens, cheaper levels of intelligence."
"The next pieces are, how do we secure it? How do we govern it? How do we cost control it?"

Wow. Tool Calls consume 21% of inference!! Cc @martin_casado
Interesting analysis by cursor breaking down agent inference spend.
They were able to reduce token use by trimming the system prompt, loading tools on demand and compressing file reads

In a non-deterministic software enterprise world, the need for deterministic AI gateways will just increase.
Kong CEO @sonicaghi warns AI is giving hackers nation-state-level capabilities while companies deploy agents they can't secure:
"In the last 24 hours we had PHP2Shell, a bunch of gateways got compromised, and the frequency’s increasing. You have now nationwide type of attacker powers by leveraging models, and the companies haven’t defended themselves through security models."
"Agentic enterprise and agentic coding is creating a whole new surface that most of the time is non-deterministic. That creates a lot of empty spots to be attacked."
"We do rate limiting, blocking, and a kill switch. This is becoming a large risk into boardrooms of the Fortune 500s."

Shared some data @MTSlive.
Enterprises are entering a multi-model world, largest AI orgs up to 100s models. At the same time cost x token is going down via open-weight.
We are entering the age of hypervolumes into quadrillions and quintillions token consumption.

And @GSapoznik was a decade ahead.
2016.
Was thinking about this over the weekend. What if LLMs were Italian food? Let me know what you think of the list (but remember you're arguing with an Italian).
ChatGPT → Margherita Pizza
The crowd-pleaser.
Gemini → Lasagna
Built with data layers (Search, YouTube, Android, etc.)
Claude → Osso Buco
Slow-cooked, meticulous, and expensive.
Grok → Spicy 'Nduja
Loud, punchy, sometimes TOO punchy.
DeepSeek → Cacio e Pepe
Simple ingredients, hard to make, shockingly good.
Llama → Family-Style Antipasto Platter
Open and shareable.
Kimi → Tiramisu
New on the menu and winning fans over fast.

OMG. I swear no agents involved.
the @kong AI gateway 2.0 is a piece of art. Not only it scales to quadrillions of token without missing a beat but has the best policy management in the industry. Of course all you see here is usable headless via API and CLI. Try it out 🦍
