# Helix 0.114.0: AI gateway and usage tracking

> Call AI models from your functions with `ctx.ai`, and track spend per workspace with `helix ai usage`.

- Released: 11 Sept 2026 (2026-09-11)
- Packages: @trayai/helix-cli@0.114.0, @trayai/helix-sdk@0.114.0

## Headline changes

### Added: AI gateway - `ctx.ai`

You can now call large-language and image-generation models directly from your Helix functions using the new `ctx.ai` namespace. Configure one or more AI providers in your project config, then call methods like `ctx.ai.generateText` or `ctx.ai.generateImage` without managing API keys per function. The gateway handles authentication, routing to the right provider, and cost tracking automatically.
