Respan releases a plugin-based open-source Rust AI gateway
What happened
On October 20, 2026, the Hacker News front page reported that Respan released a plugin-centric open-source Rust AI gateway, now in pre-alpha. It uses a small core with a public interface for plugin extensions. Provider adapters, MCP, real-time voice, image and video, plus smart routing, fallback and PII redaction can all be implemented as plugins. The post also notes that its cross-protocol conversion does not cover every feature, and the current release still has limits on feature coverage.
