Tyk AI Studio goes open source
Why AI control planes must be extensible
For the regulated enterprises running AI on their own infrastructure, a closed control plane isn’t a trade-off – it’s a liability. Tyk AI Studio is going open source so you don’t have to choose between governance and control.

About the Webinar
Closed AI control planes create dangerous bottlenecks that limit innovation and lock organisations into rigid vendor ecosystems.
If you run AI inside a bank, telco, or government department, the control plane above your models is the architectural call you can't afford to get wrong. Closed planes hand your traffic, policies, and audit trail to someone else's cloud, which doesn't hold under GDPR, HIPAA, NIS2, or sovereignty mandates.
Tyk is taking AI Studio open source because the enterprises we work with can't adopt AI infrastructure they can't inspect, extend, or run on their own terms.
You'll leave with a clear view of what an extensible, open source AI control plane looks like in practice, how it fits alongside your existing governance stack, and what it means for your AI roadmap.
