Each gateway must be configured with exactly one authentication type (coreWeaveAuth or weightsAndBiasesAuth) and exactly one routing strategy (bodyBasedRouting, headerBasedRouting, or pathBasedRouting). The available zones for zones are returned by GET /v1alpha1/inference/gateways/parameters.
Example request
curl -X POST https://api.coreweave.com/v1alpha1/inference/gateways \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer {API_ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
       -d @data.json

​
Authentication

  • coreWeaveAuth: validate inference requests using the same CoreWeave API access tokens used to call the management API. No additional configuration is required.
  • weightsAndBiasesAuth: validate inference requests using Weights & Biases SaaS credentials. Optional fields include enableUsageReports and enableRateLimiting. W&B self-hosted is not currently supported.

​
Routing strategies

  • bodyBasedRouting: the model name is read from the model field in the JSON request body. Set apiType: API_TYPE_OPENAI for OpenAI-compatible behavior.
  • pathBasedRouting: the model name is the first segment of the URL path. URL-encode model names that contain special characters.
  • headerBasedRouting: the model name is read from a custom HTTP header you specify in headerName (1–100 characters).
