Overview
Vectoral protects large language model endpoints from token reselling and API abuse. It monitors incoming requests to detect and block reseller traffic before tokens are spent. The platform uses behavioral fingerprints, request-graph clustering, and abuse-network intelligence to score and categorize each request as blocked, challenged, or clean, and logs the trigger signal. It lets teams rank users by spend, block abusive accounts, and set actions such as throttling, key rotation, or refusing calls inline. This helps providers prevent unauthorized use and minimize API costs. Vectoral aims to reduce fraud and abuse in generative AI services by stopping credential leaks and token resale at the gateway.

- OpenAI, Anthropic, and gateway vendors can add native anti-abuse controls, commoditizing Vectoral.
What makes Vectoral unique
