Tetrate and Bloomberg collaborate on community-led open standard for AI Gateways built on CNCF’s Envoy Gateway project

Published

on

Joint effort will expand capabilities of the Envoy Gateway project, one of the Kubernetes Gateway API implementations.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Driven by the surge in applications built to utilize large language models (LLMs), the open source AI gateway space is heating up. In response, engineers from Bloomberg and Tetrate have partnered to develop an innovative, community-led set of core AI gateway features for enterprise AI integration. This effort will expand the capabilities of the CNCF’s Envoy Gateway project, one of the Kubernetes Gateway API implementations.

As an ‘open source first’ company, Bloomberg believes in the power and collaborative nature of the open source community to develop web scale solutions, and that important difference makes this project a valuable alternative to other ongoing efforts.

As the emerging open standard for handling Kubernetes ingress traffic, Envoy Gateway is designed for at-scale operation and is extensible, making it a solid choice to underpin this new set of features, as well as future innovation in the AI API gateway space. Furthermore, Envoy Gateway is a community-led open source project with no commercially licensed features, and where community members drive decisions about upstream feature development.

This sets it apart from both existing vendor-led open source AI gateway offerings and fully proprietary, commercial AI gateway solutions that have sought to address this problem. Both of these approaches can create greater complexity for some enterprises and hamper innovation, which is why the Envoy community is developing an option without vendor lock-in or features that can only be accessed through additional, paid enterprise licenses.

“Historically, when shared problems arise in the software industry, the open source community rallies to solve them, accelerating innovation,” said Varun Talwar, founder of Tetrate. “Our collaboration with Bloomberg and the CNCF aims to achieve precisely that: designing and delivering a community-led, fully open source AI gateway, powered by the leading contender to replace legacy models for Kubernetes ingress. It’s a solution the market is asking for, and we’re excited to be part of the team of maintainers and contributors creating it.”

AI Gateways enable organizations to integrate AI functionality into workflows and applications. They route requests to multiple AI service providers and models through a single reverse proxy layer (often referred to as a gateway). AI Gateways simplify AI integration by providing a single unified API layer with which developers interact, and can provide additional functionality, such as rate limiting, caching and observability.

The initial idea for this project arose when Dan Sun, engineering team lead for Bloomberg’s Cloud Native Compute Services – AI Inference team and co-founder/maintainer of the KServe project, came to the Envoy community and outlined his views of the problem space and a potential path forward for solving it. Tetrate, a major upstream contributor to the Envoy project, stepped forward to express interest in helping Sun and Bloomberg turn their vision for the Envoy AI Gateway API into reality.

“Bloomberg has more than 15 years of experience delivering value to our customers by incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) – in particular, machine learning and natural language processing – in enterprise applications,” said Steven Bower, engineering lead for Bloomberg’s Cloud Native Compute Services group. “When we looked to the community for someone to collaborate with to start building gateway features that accelerate AI integration in our products, we immediately identified the engineering team at Tetrate. Their people are leading contributors to Envoy Gateway, and they bring significant expertise to the project around handling cloud-native, scalable traffic. Beyond that, as an ‘open source first’ company, Bloomberg believes in the power and collaborative nature of the open source community to develop web scale solutions, and that important difference makes this project a valuable alternative to other ongoing efforts.”

Envoy Gateway and KServe can be used together to allow traffic routing to both self-hosted and vendor-hosted LLMs. In this case, the AI gateway sits on the top and routes open source LLM model traffic to self-hosted endpoints using KServe, and vendor-hosted model traffic is routed to AWS Bedrock or other, similar cloud-based services.

The first features to be included in Envoy AI Gateway will provide:

application traffic management to LLM providers with high-availability routing strategies;LLM usage monitoring and control at the application, organization and enterprise levels, to help users manage costs; anda unified interface for LLM requests through which the gateway handles back-end connectivity to various LLM providers.

The open source Envoy Gateway extensions and enhancements will offer usage control for applications that are integrated with multiple LLM providers and models, robust authorization mechanisms, and intelligent fallback options to ensure continued operation even when cloud providers are unavailable or too expensive.

This open source initiative, part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), is more than just a tool; it’s a strategic response to challenges enterprises face in adopting and integrating AI in their applications at scale. By laying the groundwork for scalable AI platforms, Tetrate and Bloomberg engineers are addressing the immediate needs of today’s enterprises and setting the stage for the future of AI applications within cloud-native environments.

“The Envoy project continues to impress with its flexibility to support new and valuable use cases,” said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO of the CNCF. “Bloomberg and Tetrate have done exactly what our community is designed to do: bring people and organizations together to solve a common problem. That they’re doing it with Envoy Gateway only validates the power and extensibility of the project.”

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Better Business Advice has recognized CapCut in its 2026 coverage of the best AI tools for marketing content, highlighting its collection of AI-powered features for creating and editing videos, images, audio, and other campaign assets. The recognition reflects growing interest in tools that help transform creative concepts into usable marketing materials while reducing the manual work involved in production.

Best AI Marketing Tools

Seedance 2.0 – an AI video generation model that creates videos from text prompts or imagesSeedream – an AI image generation model that creates high-quality visuals from text prompts

AI-powered content creation is changing how businesses develop digital marketing campaigns. From promotional videos and product imagery to social media graphics and branded audio, organizations face growing demand for creative assets across multiple digital channels. Tools that simplify production and support faster experimentation are becoming an increasingly important part of modern marketing workflows.

CapCut offers a range of AI-assisted capabilities covering several stages of content creation. These include text-based video generation, AI image generation, background removal, image expansion, music generation, and photo animation. Together, the tools provide options for producing marketing assets for social media, digital advertising, product promotions, and other online campaigns.

AI Video Generation Supports Promotional Campaigns

Video is an important format for communicating product information, presenting services, and building audience engagement. However, producing video content regularly can require significant planning, editing, and creative resources.

CapCut’s Seedance 2.0 AI video generator supports prompt-based video creation. Users can describe a creative concept and generate video content that serves as a starting point for further development.

The capability can support promotional videos, product showcases, educational content, and social media campaigns. It also gives creators a way to explore different visual approaches during the planning stage before refining the selected direction.

For businesses producing content across multiple channels, AI-assisted video generation can help reduce the effort required to develop initial concepts. Generated material can then be reviewed and edited to align with campaign objectives, brand guidelines, and platform requirements.

Image Generation Helps Develop Marketing Concepts

Visual assets influence how products, services, and campaigns are presented to audiences. Developing suitable imagery often involves several rounds of brainstorming and creative testing before a final direction is selected.

CapCut’s Seedream AI image generator enables users to create images from text prompts. The tool can support concept drafts, campaign planning, and experimentation with different visual styles.

For example, a seasonal marketing campaign may require several approaches to backgrounds, compositions, and visual themes. AI-generated drafts can help illustrate those options before resources are committed to final production.

CapCut’s GPT Image 2 provides another option for generating images from natural language instructions. The feature can support the development of promotional graphics, campaign imagery, and other visual assets.

These tools help shorten the early stages of creative development by making it easier to turn written ideas into visual references. Human review remains important to ensure the resulting assets accurately represent the product and meet the campaign’s requirements.

Image Editing Simplifies Asset Preparation

AI image generation is only one part of preparing content for publication. Existing photographs and graphics often need adjustments before they can be used across marketing channels.

CapCut’s AI background removal tool helps separate subjects from their original backgrounds. This can be useful when preparing product images, promotional graphics, and other assets that require a different visual setting.

The AI Image Extender addresses the challenge of adapting images to different layouts. By generating content beyond an image’s original boundaries, the tool can help users adjust compositions for different formats without relying entirely on cropping or stretching.

These capabilities can support the preparation of visuals for social media posts, website banners, digital advertisements, and product promotions. They also provide options for repurposing existing creative assets instead of producing entirely new images for every placement.

AI Audio and Photo Animation Expand Creative Options

Marketing content often combines visuals, movement, and sound to communicate a message. Producing these elements separately can add complexity to the creative process.

CapCut’s SeedMusic AI audio generator supports AI-assisted music creation based on creative prompts. Generated music can be used as a starting point for videos, promotional campaigns, and other multimedia projects, subject to appropriate review and usage requirements.

The platform’s Photo-to-3D tool offers another way to adapt still images into more dynamic visual content. This capability can help transform existing photography into animated presentations for product showcases, social media, and digital promotions.

By supporting audio creation and image animation alongside video and image tools, CapCut provides additional options for developing varied marketing materials.

A Connected Workflow for Marketing Content

CapCut’s collection of AI-powered features supports several stages of campaign production within one creative environment. A project could begin with concept images generated through Seedream, followed by visual development with GPT Image 2. Background removal and image expansion can then help prepare assets for different placements.

Selected visuals can be incorporated into video projects using Seedance 2.0, while SeedMusic offers an option for developing accompanying audio. Photo-to-3D can provide another format for repurposing existing images.

Not every campaign requires all these capabilities. Their practical value depends on the content format, production requirements, and intended audience. Reviewing generated assets for accuracy, visual consistency, and suitability remains essential before publication.

Better Business Advice’s recognition of CapCut reflects the growing role of AI-assisted production in digital marketing. As businesses continue to develop content for multiple channels, tools that support video creation, image generation, editing, and multimedia production can help simplify creative workflows while leaving room for human direction and quality control.

Published

on

By

GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bio-Thera Solutions, Ltd. (688177.SH), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies and biosimilars, today announced the presentation of clinical data for BAT8008, a TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), in combination with BAT1308, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, at the 2026 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress. Professor Shaodong Hong of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center delivered a rapid oral presentation highlighting results from the combination regimen in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Further details are available on Bio-Thera’s official website.

In the first-line, mutation-negative NSCLC population (N=104), treatment with BAT8008 in combination with BAT1308 achieved an objective response rate (ORR) of 61.2% and a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 12.42 months. In the non-squamous NSCLC subgroup, the ORR was 65.2%, while median PFS had not yet been reached at the time of analysis. The combination demonstrated a manageable safety profile consistent with the known safety characteristics of the individual agents, with no new safety signals identified.

“We are very encouraged by these Phase 2 results evaluating BAT8008 in combination with BAT1308 as a first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer”, said Shengfeng Li, CEO of Bio-Thera Solutions.  “The findings support the potential of this combination approach in First Line NSCLC and reinforce our commitment to advancing innovative oncology therapies for patients with significant unmet medical needs.”

Lung cancer remains a major global health challenge, and NSCLC accounts for the majority of lung cancer cases. Patients with advanced NSCLC who lack actionable genomic alterations continue to face significant treatment challenges, despite advances in immunotherapy and chemoimmunotherapy. New treatment strategies that can improve clinical outcomes while maintaining a manageable safety profile remain an important area of oncology research.

TROP2-targeted ADCs combine tumor-directed delivery of cytotoxic payloads with the potential to modulate the tumor microenvironment. When combined with PD-1 blockade, this approach may offer complementary mechanisms of action, providing a rationale for clinical investigation in NSCLC. The clinical findings presented at ESMO 2026 support further evaluation of BAT8008 in combination with BAT1308 as a potential treatment option for patients with NSCLC.
