A gateway and an inference account solve different jobs. The gateway routes requests and applies configured controls. The inference account determines who purchases the tokens and which provider agreement applies. Concentrate supports both buying inference through its service and bringing your own provider credentials where supported.
Managed inference: buy through Concentrate
Use a Concentrate account and key to call supported models without creating a separate provider account for every integration. Concentrate operates the gateway and handles the inference purchase through its service.
