Evidence-Bound Gateway-Path Provenance for Third-Party LLM Inference
Cryptographically bound provenance records for third-party LLM gateways make model-selection, routing, and billing decisions independently verifiable, curbing a growing trust gap in multi-provider inference chains.

arXiv:2606.22560v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Third-party LLM gateways select providers, models, endpoints, and fallback paths while also authoring the records used to explain and bill those decisions. We present evidence-bound gateway-path provenance, which makes these decisions subject to client-verifiable request contracts. An attested mediation runtime intersects a signed service policy with the client's authorization, constructs provider-facing calls, and protects streamed responses.
Editorial Analysis
Enterprises using multi-provider LLM gateways currently cannot verify which model actually processed their data; cryptographic provenance closes this accountability gap.
Request provenance and auditability guarantees from your LLM gateway providers to verify model routing and billing accuracy.
