FAQ
The honest questions.
What does BYOK mean?
Bring your own key. You connect your own provider API keys; Alpha routes through them and never marks up your LLM costs. You pay providers what you always did — Alpha's fee is the flat plan above.
What happens if Alpha is down?
The architecture is designed so your agents keep running when the gateway is unavailable — calls fall back to your providers directly. Alpha is a control layer, not a single point of failure.
How are my keys secured?
Keys are encrypted and scoped; nothing is logged in plaintext. See the security page for how keys are handled in every mode.
