+
+a light package to simplify calling OpenAI, Azure, Cohere, Anthropic, Huggingface API Endpoints. It manages:
+- translating inputs to the provider's completion and embedding endpoints
+- guarantees [consistent output](https://litellm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/output/), text responses will always be available at `['choices'][0]['message']['content']`
+- exception mapping - common exceptions across providers are mapped to the [OpenAI exception types](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6897213-openai-library-error-types-guidance)
+# usage
+Demo - https://litellm.ai/ \
+Read the docs - https://litellm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
+
+## quick start
+```
+pip install litellm
+```
+
+```python
+from litellm import completion
+
+messages = [{ "content": "Hello, how are you?","role": "user"}]
+
+# openai call
+response = completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages)
+
+# cohere call
+response = completion("command-nightly", messages)
+
+# azure openai call
+response = completion("chatgpt-test", messages, azure=True)
+
+# hugging face call
+response = completion(model="stabilityai/stablecode-completion-alpha-3b-4k", messages=messages, hugging_face=True)
+
+# openrouter call
+response = completion("google/palm-2-codechat-bison", messages)
+```
+Code Sample: [Getting Started Notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1gR3pY-JzDZahzpVdbGBtrNGDBmzUNJaJ?usp=sharing)
+
+Stable version
+```
+pip install litellm==0.1.345
+```
+
+## Streaming Queries
+liteLLM supports streaming the model response back, pass `stream=True` to get a streaming iterator in response.
+Streaming is supported for OpenAI, Azure, Anthropic models
+```python
+response = completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages, stream=True)
+for chunk in response:
+    print(chunk['choices'][0]['delta'])
+
+# claude 2
+result = completion('claude-2', messages, stream=True)
+for chunk in result:
+  print(chunk['choices'][0]['delta'])
+```
