Why developers are running their own LLM proxies

Original: If you don't run your own LLM proxy, how do you know whats going on?

A discussion is underway among developers about the case for self-hosting a proxy in front of large language model APIs. The argument: without routing your own traffic through infrastructure you control, you have little visibility into what prompts are being sent, what responses come back, and how third-party providers are handling your data. Commenters are weighing the trade-off between that transparency and the extra operational burden.

Why now: Growing concern about visibility and control when companies rely on third-party LLM APIs for sensitive workloads.
