• AI Gateway Benchmarks: Highflame vs LiteLLM vs Bifrost (2026)
  AI gateway benchmarks on real timing: Highflame adds ~2 ms to the first token, answers 100% of 5,000 held conversations, and adds 17 ms to an MCP tool call.

• AI Agent Incident Response: What to Do When an Agent Is Compromised
  AI agent incident response starts with the blast radius: when a compromised coding agent spawns 50 subagents, revoke the entire delegation chain in one atomic step.

• AI Gateway Load Testing: What Breaks at Concurrency (and How to Fix It)
  AI gateway load testing on a two-host AWS rig: under a 5,000-connection rush, Highflame answers in 0.83s where LiteLLM takes 17 seconds and drops a third of calls.

• Claude Code Sandboxing: How Anthropic Contains Coding Agents (and How to Cover Your Fleet)
  Claude Code sandboxing: Anthropic's three-layer containment model, a real attack walked end to end, and the governance gap no single sandbox closes across a fleet.

• MCP Enterprise Managed Authorization (EMA): What It Is and How Highflame Supports It
  MCP Enterprise Managed Authorization (EMA) lets your identity provider decide which MCP servers an agent can reach via corporate SSO. How it works, and where it stops.

• MCP Gateway, LLM Gateway, Agent Gateway: Three Gateways, One Decision Fabric
  Three gateways govern AI agents: LLM for content, MCP for tools, agent for authorization. The risk is running them as three vendors, not one decision path.
