 **Core Features**:
   - Built on [Envoy](https://envoyproxy.io): Arch runs alongside application servers as a separate containerized process, and builds on top of Envoy's proven HTTP management and scalability features to handle ingress and egress traffic related to prompts and LLMs.
-  - Function Calling for fast Agents and RAG apps. Engineered with purpose-built [LLMs](https://huggingface.co/collections/katanemo/arch-function-66f209a693ea8df14317ad68) to handle fast, cost-effective, and accurate prompt-based tasks like function/API calling, and parameter extraction from prompts.

Engineered with purpose-built [LLMs](https://huggingface.co/collections/katanemo/arch-function-66f209a693ea8df14317ad68) to handle fast, cost-effective, and accurate prompt-based tasks like function/API calling, and parameter extraction from prompts to build smarter more accurate agentic applications.
   - Prompt [Guard](https://huggingface.co/collections/katanemo/arch-guard-6702bdc08b889e4bce8f446d): Arch centralizes guardrails to prevent jailbreak attempts and ensure safe user interactions without writing a single line of code.
-  - Routing & Traffic Management: Arch manages LLM calls, offering smart retries, automatic cutover, and resilient upstream connections for continuous availability.
+  - Routing & Traffic Management: Arch centralizes calls to LLMs used by your applications, offering smart retries, automatic cutover, and resilient upstream connections for continuous availability.
   - Observability: Arch uses the W3C Trace Context standard to enable complete request tracing across applications, ensuring compatibility with observability tools, and provides metrics to monitor latency, token usage, and error rates, helping optimize AI application performance.
