+Glide is a cloud-native open source high-performant model gateway. All LLMOps you needed is packed in one lightweight service.
+
+We take all problems and toll of managing and communicating with external providers out of your applications,
+so you could focus solving your core problems.
+
+Glide sits between your application and model providers that you use to seamlessly handle various LLMOps tasks like
+model failover, caching, etc. 
+
+> [!Warning]
+> Glide is under active development right now. Give us a star to support the project ✨
+
+## Features
+
+- **Unified REST API** across providers. Avoid vendor lock-ins and changes in your applications when you adopt new providers.
+- **High availability** and **resiliency** working with external model providers. Automatic **fallbacks** on provider failures, rate limits, transient errors. Smart retries to reduce communication latency.
+- Support **popular LLM providers**.
+- **High performance**. Performance is our priority. We want to keep Glide "invisible" for your latency-wise, while providing rich functionality.
+- **Production-ready observability** via OpenTelemetry, emit metrics on models health, allows whitebox monitoring.
+- Straightforward and simple maintenance and configuration, API key rotation, etc.
