# Router - Load Balancing, Fallbacks
LiteLLM manages:
- Load-balance across multiple deployments (e.g. Azure/OpenAI)
- Prioritizing important requests to ensure they don't fail (i.e. Queueing)
- Basic reliability logic - cooldowns, fallbacks, timeouts and retries (fixed + exponential backoff) across multiple deployments/providers.
In production, litellm supports using Redis as a way to track cooldown server and usage (managing tpm/rpm limits).
:::info
If you want a server to load balance across different LLM APIs, use our [LiteLLM Proxy Server](./proxy/load_balancing.md)

## Load Balancing
(s/o [@paulpierre](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpierre/) and [sweep proxy](https://docs.sweep.dev/blogs/openai-proxy) for their contributions to this implementation)
[**See Code**](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/main/litellm/router.py)
### Quick Start
Loadbalance across multiple [azure](./providers/azure.md)/[bedrock](./providers/bedrock.md)/[provider](./providers/) deployments. LiteLLM will handle retrying in different regions if a call fails.
```python
from litellm import Router
model_list = [{ # list of model deployments
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo", # model alias -> loadbalance between models with same `model_name`
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "azure/chatgpt-v-2", # actual model name
"api_key": os.getenv("AZURE_API_KEY"),
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE")
}
}, {
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "azure/chatgpt-functioncalling",
"api_key": os.getenv("AZURE_API_KEY"),
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE")
}
}, {
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"api_key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
}
}, {
"model_name": "gpt-4",
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "azure/gpt-4",
"api_key": os.getenv("AZURE_API_KEY"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE"),
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
}
}, {
"model_name": "gpt-4",
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "gpt-4",
"api_key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
}
},
]
router = Router(model_list=model_list)
# openai.ChatCompletion.create replacement
# requests with model="gpt-3.5-turbo" will pick a deployment where model_name="gpt-3.5-turbo"
response = await router.acompletion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going?"}])
print(response)
# openai.ChatCompletion.create replacement
# requests with model="gpt-4" will pick a deployment where model_name="gpt-4"
response = await router.acompletion(model="gpt-4",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going?"}])
print(response)
```

## Advanced - Routing Strategies ⭐️
#### Routing Strategies - Weighted Pick, Rate Limit Aware, Least Busy, Latency Based, Cost Based
Router provides 4 strategies for routing your calls across multiple deployments:
**🎉 NEW** This is an async implementation of usage-based-routing.
**Filters out deployment if tpm/rpm limit exceeded** - If you pass in the deployment's tpm/rpm limits.
Routes to **deployment with lowest TPM usage** for that minute.
In production, we use Redis to track usage (TPM/RPM) across multiple deployments. This implementation uses **async redis calls** (redis.incr and redis.mget).
For Azure, [you get 6 RPM per 1000 TPM](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77368844/what-is-the-request-per-minute-rate-limit-for-azure-openai-models-for-gpt-3-5-tu)
```python
from litellm import Router
model_list = [{ # list of model deployments
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo", # model alias
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "azure/chatgpt-v-2", # actual model name
"api_key": os.getenv("AZURE_API_KEY"),
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE")
"tpm": 100000,
"rpm": 10000,
},
}, {
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "azure/chatgpt-functioncalling",
"api_key": os.getenv("AZURE_API_KEY"),
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE")
"tpm": 100000,

},
}, {

"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"api_key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
"tpm": 100000,
"rpm": 1000,
},
}]
router = Router(model_list=model_list,
redis_host=os.environ["REDIS_HOST"],
redis_password=os.environ["REDIS_PASSWORD"],
redis_port=os.environ["REDIS_PORT"],
routing_strategy="usage-based-routing-v2" # 👈 KEY CHANGE
enable_pre_call_checks=True, # enables router rate limits for concurrent calls
)
response = await router.acompletion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going?"}]
print(response)
```
**1. Set strategy in config**
```yaml
model_list:
- model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo # model alias
litellm_params: # params for litellm completion/embedding call
model: azure/chatgpt-v-2 # actual model name
api_key: os.environ/AZURE_API_KEY
api_version: os.environ/AZURE_API_VERSION
api_base: os.environ/AZURE_API_BASE
tpm: 100000
rpm: 10000
- model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
litellm_params: # params for litellm completion/embedding call
model: gpt-3.5-turbo
api_key: os.getenv(OPENAI_API_KEY)
tpm: 100000
rpm: 1000
router_settings:
routing_strategy: usage-based-routing-v2 # 👈 KEY CHANGE
redis_host:
redis_password:
redis_port:
enable_pre_call_check: true
general_settings:
master_key: sk-1234
```
**2. Start proxy**
```bash
litellm --config /path/to/config.yaml
```
**3. Test it!**
```bash
curl --location 'http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' \
--data '{
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going?"}]
}'
```
Picks the deployment with the lowest response time.
It caches, and updates the response times for deployments based on when a request was sent and received from a deployment.
[**How to test**](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/main/tests/local_testing/test_lowest_latency_routing.py)
```python
from litellm import Router
import asyncio
model_list = [{ ... }]
# init router
router = Router(model_list=model_list,
routing_strategy="latency-based-routing",# 👈 set routing strategy
enable_pre_call_check=True, # enables router rate limits for concurrent calls
)
## CALL 1+2
tasks = []
response = None
final_response = None
for _ in range(2):
tasks.append(router.acompletion(model=model, messages=messages))
response = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
if response is not None:
## CALL 3
await asyncio.sleep(1) # let the cache update happen
picked_deployment = router.lowestlatency_logger.get_available_deployments(
model_group=model, healthy_deployments=router.healthy_deployments
)
final_response = await router.acompletion(model=model, messages=messages)
print(f"min deployment id: {picked_deployment}")
print(f"model id: {final_response._hidden_params['model_id']}")
assert (
final_response._hidden_params["model_id"]
== picked_deployment["model_info"]["id"]
)
```
#### Set Time Window
Set time window for how far back to consider when averaging latency for a deployment.
**In Router**
```python
router = Router(..., routing_strategy_args={"ttl": 10})
```
**In Proxy**
```yaml
router_settings:
routing_strategy_args: {"ttl": 10}
```
#### Set Lowest Latency Buffer
Set a buffer within which deployments are candidates for making calls to.
E.g.
if you have 5 deployments
```
https://litellm-prod-1.openai.azure.com/: 0.07s
https://litellm-prod-2.openai.azure.com/: 0.1s
https://litellm-prod-3.openai.azure.com/: 0.1s
https://litellm-prod-4.openai.azure.com/: 0.1s
https://litellm-prod-5.openai.azure.com/: 4.66s
```
to prevent initially overloading `prod-1`, with all requests - we can set a buffer of 50%, to consider deployments `prod-2, prod-3, prod-4`.
**In Router**
```python
router = Router(..., routing_strategy_args={"lowest_latency_buffer": 0.5})
```
**In Proxy**
```yaml
router_settings:
routing_strategy_args: {"lowest_latency_buffer": 0.5}
```
**Default** Picks a deployment based on the provided **Requests per minute (rpm) or Tokens per minute (tpm)**
If `rpm` or `tpm` is not provided, it randomly picks a deployment
You can also set a `weight` param, to specify which model should get picked when.

This will route to the deployment with the lowest TPM usage for that minute.
In production, we use Redis to track usage (TPM/RPM) across multiple deployments.
If you pass in the deployment's tpm/rpm limits, this will also check against that, and filter out any who's limits would be exceeded.
For Azure, your RPM = TPM/6.

from litellm import Router
model_list = [{ # list of model deployments

Picks a deployment with the least number of ongoing calls, it's handling.

messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going?"}]
)
print(response)
return response
asyncio.run(router_acompletion())
```
**Plugin a custom routing strategy to select deployments**
Step 1. Define your custom routing strategy
```python
from litellm.router import CustomRoutingStrategyBase
class CustomRoutingStrategy(CustomRoutingStrategyBase):
async def async_get_available_deployment(
self,
model: str,
messages: Optional[List[Dict[str, str]]] = None,
input: Optional[Union[str, List]] = None,
specific_deployment: Optional[bool] = False,
request_kwargs: Optional[Dict] = None,
):
"""
Asynchronously retrieves the available deployment based on the given parameters.
Args:
model (str): The name of the model.
messages (Optional[List[Dict[str, str]]], optional): The list of messages for a given request. Defaults to None.
input (Optional[Union[str, List]], optional): The input for a given embedding request. Defaults to None.
specific_deployment (Optional[bool], optional): Whether to retrieve a specific deployment. Defaults to False.
request_kwargs (Optional[Dict], optional): Additional request keyword arguments. Defaults to None.
Returns:
Returns an element from litellm.router.model_list
"""
print("In CUSTOM async get available deployment")
model_list = router.model_list
print("router model list=", model_list)
for model in model_list:
if isinstance(model, dict):
if model["litellm_params"]["model"] == "openai/very-special-endpoint":
return model
pass
def get_available_deployment(
self,
model: str,
messages: Optional[List[Dict[str, str]]] = None,
input: Optional[Union[str, List]] = None,
specific_deployment: Optional[bool] = False,
request_kwargs: Optional[Dict] = None,
):
"""

specific_deployment (Optional[bool], optional): Whether to retrieve a specific deployment. Defaults to False.
request_kwargs (Optional[Dict], optional): Additional request keyword arguments. Defaults to None.
Returns:
Returns an element from litellm.router.model_list
"""
pass
```
Step 2. Initialize Router with custom routing strategy
```python
from litellm import Router
router = Router(
model_list=[
{
"model_name": "azure-model",
"litellm_params": {
"model": "openai/very-special-endpoint",
"api_base": "https://exampleopenaiendpoint-production.up.railway.app/", # If you are Krrish, this is OpenAI Endpoint3 on our Railway endpoint :)
"api_key": "fake-key",
},
"model_info": {"id": "very-special-endpoint"},
},
{
"model_name": "azure-model",
"litellm_params": {
"model": "openai/fast-endpoint",
"api_base": "https://exampleopenaiendpoint-production.up.railway.app/",
"api_key": "fake-key",
},
"model_info": {"id": "fast-endpoint"},
},
],
set_verbose=True,
debug_level="DEBUG",
timeout=1,
) # type: ignore
router.set_custom_routing_strategy(CustomRoutingStrategy()) # 👈 Set your routing strategy here
```
Step 3. Test your routing strategy. Expect your custom routing strategy to be called when running `router.acompletion` requests
```python
for _ in range(10):
response = await router.acompletion(
model="azure-model", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "hello"}]
)
print(response)
_picked_model_id = response._hidden_params["model_id"]
print("picked model=", _picked_model_id)
```
Picks a deployment based on the lowest cost
How this works:
- Get all healthy deployments
- Select all deployments that are under their provided `rpm/tpm` limits
- For each deployment check if `litellm_param["model"]` exists in [`litellm_model_cost_map`](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/main/model_prices_and_context_window.json)
- if deployment does not exist in `litellm_model_cost_map` -> use deployment_cost= `$1`
- Select deployment with lowest cost
```python
from litellm import Router
import asyncio
model_list = [
{
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"litellm_params": {"model": "gpt-4"},
"model_info": {"id": "openai-gpt-4"},
},
{
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"litellm_params": {"model": "groq/llama3-8b-8192"},
"model_info": {"id": "groq-llama"},
},
]
# init router
router = Router(model_list=model_list, routing_strategy="cost-based-routing")
async def router_acompletion():
response = await router.acompletion(
model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going?"}]
)
print(response)
print(response._hidden_params["model_id"]) # expect groq-llama, since groq/llama has lowest cost
return response
asyncio.run(router_acompletion())
```
#### Using Custom Input/Output pricing
Set `litellm_params["input_cost_per_token"]` and `litellm_params["output_cost_per_token"]` for using custom pricing when routing
```python
model_list = [
{
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"litellm_params": {
"model": "azure/chatgpt-v-2",
"input_cost_per_token": 0.00003,
"output_cost_per_token": 0.00003,
},
"model_info": {"id": "chatgpt-v-experimental"},
},
{
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"litellm_params": {
"model": "azure/chatgpt-v-1",
"input_cost_per_token": 0.000000001,
"output_cost_per_token": 0.00000001,
},
"model_info": {"id": "chatgpt-v-1"},
},
{
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"litellm_params": {
"model": "azure/chatgpt-v-5",
"input_cost_per_token": 10,
"output_cost_per_token": 12,
},
"model_info": {"id": "chatgpt-v-5"},
},
]
# init router
router = Router(model_list=model_list, routing_strategy="cost-based-routing")
async def router_acompletion():
response = await router.acompletion(
model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going?"}]
)
print(response)
print(response._hidden_params["model_id"]) # expect chatgpt-v-1, since chatgpt-v-1 has lowest cost
return response
asyncio.run(router_acompletion())
```
## Basic Reliability
### Max Parallel Requests (ASYNC)
Used in semaphore for async requests on router. Limit the max concurrent calls made to a deployment. Useful in high-traffic scenarios.
If tpm/rpm is set, and no max parallel request limit given, we use the RPM or calculated RPM (tpm/1000/6) as the max parallel request limit.
```python
from litellm import Router
model_list = [{
"model_name": "gpt-4",
"litellm_params": {
"model": "azure/gpt-4",
...
"max_parallel_requests": 10 # 👈 SET PER DEPLOYMENT
}
}]
### OR ###
router = Router(model_list=model_list, default_max_parallel_requests=20) # 👈 SET DEFAULT MAX PARALLEL REQUESTS
# deployment max parallel requests > default max parallel requests
```
[**See Code**](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/a978f2d8813c04dad34802cb95e0a0e35a3324bc/litellm/utils.py#L5605)
### Timeouts
The timeout set in router is for the entire length of the call, and is passed down to the completion() call level as well.
**Global Timeouts**
```python
from litellm import Router
model_list = [{...}]
router = Router(model_list=model_list,
timeout=30) # raise timeout error if call takes > 30s
print(response)
```
**Timeouts per model**
```python
from litellm import Router
import asyncio
model_list = [{
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"litellm_params": {
"model": "azure/chatgpt-v-2",
"api_key": os.getenv("AZURE_API_KEY"),
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE"),
"timeout": 300 # sets a 5 minute timeout
"stream_timeout": 30 # sets a 30s timeout for streaming calls
}
}]
# init router
router = Router(model_list=model_list, routing_strategy="least-busy")
async def router_acompletion():
response = await router.acompletion(
model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going?"}]
)
print(response)
return response
asyncio.run(router_acompletion())
```
### Cooldowns
Set the limit for how many calls a model is allowed to fail in a minute, before being cooled down for a minute.
```python
from litellm import Router
model_list = [{...}]
router = Router(model_list=model_list,
allowed_fails=1, # cooldown model if it fails > 1 call in a minute.
cooldown_time=100 # cooldown the deployment for 100 seconds if it num_fails > allowed_fails
)
user_message = "Hello, whats the weather in San Francisco??"
messages = [{"content": user_message, "role": "user"}]
# normal call
response = router.completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages)
print(f"response: {response}")
```
**Set Global Value**
```yaml
router_settings:
allowed_fails: 3 # cooldown model if it fails > 1 call in a minute.
cooldown_time: 30 # (in seconds) how long to cooldown model if fails/min > allowed_fails
```
Defaults:
- allowed_fails: 0
- cooldown_time: 60s
**Set Per Model**
```yaml
model_list:
- model_name: fake-openai-endpoint
litellm_params:
model: predibase/llama-3-8b-instruct
api_key: os.environ/PREDIBASE_API_KEY
tenant_id: os.environ/PREDIBASE_TENANT_ID
max_new_tokens: 256
cooldown_time: 0 # 👈 KEY CHANGE
```
**Expected Response**
```
No deployments available for selected model, Try again in 60 seconds. Passed model=claude-3-5-sonnet. pre-call-checks=False, allowed_model_region=n/a.
```
#### **Disable cooldowns**
```python
from litellm import Router
router = Router(..., disable_cooldowns=True)
```
```yaml
router_settings:
disable_cooldowns: True
```
### Retries
For both async + sync functions, we support retrying failed requests.
For RateLimitError we implement exponential backoffs
For generic errors, we retry immediately
Here's a quick look at how we can set `num_retries = 3`:
```python
from litellm import Router
model_list = [{...}]
router = Router(model_list=model_list,
num_retries=3)
user_message = "Hello, whats the weather in San Francisco??"
messages = [{"content": user_message, "role": "user"}]
# normal call
response = router.completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages)
print(f"response: {response}")
```
We also support setting minimum time to wait before retrying a failed request. This is via the `retry_after` param.
```python
from litellm import Router
model_list = [{...}]
router = Router(model_list=model_list,
num_retries=3, retry_after=5) # waits min 5s before retrying request
user_message = "Hello, whats the weather in San Francisco??"
messages = [{"content": user_message, "role": "user"}]
# normal call
response = router.completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages)
print(f"response: {response}")
```
### [Advanced]: Custom Retries, Cooldowns based on Error Type
- Use `RetryPolicy` if you want to set a `num_retries` based on the Exception received
- Use `AllowedFailsPolicy` to set a custom number of `allowed_fails`/minute before cooling down a deployment
[**See All Exception Types**](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/ccda616f2f881375d4e8586c76fe4662909a7d22/litellm/types/router.py#L436)
Example:
```python
retry_policy = RetryPolicy(
ContentPolicyViolationErrorRetries=3, # run 3 retries for ContentPolicyViolationErrors
AuthenticationErrorRetries=0, # run 0 retries for AuthenticationErrorRetries
)
allowed_fails_policy = AllowedFailsPolicy(
ContentPolicyViolationErrorAllowedFails=1000, # Allow 1000 ContentPolicyViolationError before cooling down a deployment
RateLimitErrorAllowedFails=100, # Allow 100 RateLimitErrors before cooling down a deployment
)
```
Example Usage
```python
from litellm.router import RetryPolicy, AllowedFailsPolicy
retry_policy = RetryPolicy(
ContentPolicyViolationErrorRetries=3, # run 3 retries for ContentPolicyViolationErrors
AuthenticationErrorRetries=0, # run 0 retries for AuthenticationErrorRetries
BadRequestErrorRetries=1,
TimeoutErrorRetries=2,
RateLimitErrorRetries=3,
)
allowed_fails_policy = AllowedFailsPolicy(
ContentPolicyViolationErrorAllowedFails=1000, # Allow 1000 ContentPolicyViolationError before cooling down a deployment
RateLimitErrorAllowedFails=100, # Allow 100 RateLimitErrors before cooling down a deployment
)
router = litellm.Router(
model_list=[
{
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo", # openai model name
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "azure/chatgpt-v-2",
"api_key": os.getenv("AZURE_API_KEY"),
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE"),
},
},
{
"model_name": "bad-model", # openai model name
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "azure/chatgpt-v-2",
"api_key": "bad-key",
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE"),
},
},
],
retry_policy=retry_policy,
allowed_fails_policy=allowed_fails_policy,
)
response = await router.acompletion(
model=model,
messages=messages,
)
```
```yaml
router_settings:
retry_policy: {
"BadRequestErrorRetries": 3,
"ContentPolicyViolationErrorRetries": 4
}
allowed_fails_policy: {
"ContentPolicyViolationErrorAllowedFails": 1000, # Allow 1000 ContentPolicyViolationError before cooling down a deployment
"RateLimitErrorAllowedFails": 100 # Allow 100 RateLimitErrors before cooling down a deployment
}
```
### Fallbacks
If a call fails after num_retries, fall back to another model group.
### Quick Start
```python
from litellm import Router
router = Router(
model_list=[
{ # bad model
"model_name": "bad-model",
"litellm_params": {
"model": "openai/my-bad-model",
"api_key": "my-bad-api-key",
"mock_response": "Bad call"
},
},
{ # good model
"model_name": "my-good-model",
"litellm_params": {
"model": "gpt-4o",
"api_key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
"mock_response": "Good call"
},
},
],
fallbacks=[{"bad-model": ["my-good-model"]}] # 👈 KEY CHANGE
)
response = router.completion(
model="bad-model",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going?"}],
mock_testing_fallbacks=True,
)
```
If the error is a context window exceeded error, fall back to a larger model group (if given).
Fallbacks are done in-order - ["gpt-3.5-turbo, "gpt-4", "gpt-4-32k"], will do 'gpt-3.5-turbo' first, then 'gpt-4', etc.
You can also set `default_fallbacks`, in case a specific model group is misconfigured / bad.
There are 3 types of fallbacks:
- `content_policy_fallbacks`: For litellm.ContentPolicyViolationError - LiteLLM maps content policy violation errors across providers [**See Code**](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/89a43c872a1e3084519fb9de159bf52f5447c6c4/litellm/utils.py#L8495C27-L8495C54)
- `context_window_fallbacks`: For litellm.ContextWindowExceededErrors - LiteLLM maps context window error messages across providers [**See Code**](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/89a43c872a1e3084519fb9de159bf52f5447c6c4/litellm/utils.py#L8469)
- `fallbacks`: For all remaining errors - e.g. litellm.RateLimitError
**Content Policy Violation Fallback**
Key change:
```python
content_policy_fallbacks=[{"claude-2": ["my-fallback-model"]}]
```
```python
from litellm import Router

### Caching
In production, we recommend using a Redis cache. For quickly testing things locally, we also support simple in-memory caching.
**In-memory Cache**
```python
router = Router(model_list=model_list,
cache_responses=True)
print(response)
```
**Redis Cache**
```python
router = Router(model_list=model_list,
redis_host=os.getenv("REDIS_HOST"),
redis_password=os.getenv("REDIS_PASSWORD"),
redis_port=os.getenv("REDIS_PORT"),
cache_responses=True)
print(response)
```
**Pass in Redis URL, additional kwargs**
```python
router = Router(model_list: Optional[list] = None,
## CACHING ##
redis_url=os.getenv("REDIS_URL")",
cache_kwargs= {}, # additional kwargs to pass to RedisCache (see caching.py)
cache_responses=True)
```
## Pre-Call Checks (Context Window, EU-Regions)
Enable pre-call checks to filter out:
1. deployments with context window limit < messages for a call.
2. deployments outside of eu-region
**1. Enable pre-call checks**
```python
from litellm import Router
# ...
router = Router(model_list=model_list, enable_pre_call_checks=True) # 👈 Set to True
```
**2. Set Model List**
For context window checks on azure deployments, set the base model. Pick the base model from [this list](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/main/model_prices_and_context_window.json), all the azure models start with `azure/`.
For 'eu-region' filtering, Set 'region_name' of deployment.
**Note:** We automatically infer region_name for Vertex AI, Bedrock, and IBM WatsonxAI based on your litellm params. For Azure, set `litellm.enable_preview = True`.
[**See Code**](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/d33e49411d6503cb634f9652873160cd534dec96/litellm/router.py#L2958)
```python
model_list = [
{
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo", # model group name
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "azure/chatgpt-v-2",
"api_key": os.getenv("AZURE_API_KEY"),
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE"),
"region_name": "eu" # 👈 SET 'EU' REGION NAME
"base_model": "azure/gpt-35-turbo", # 👈 (Azure-only) SET BASE MODEL
},
},
{
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo", # model group name
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo-1106",
"api_key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
},
},
{
"model_name": "gemini-pro",
"litellm_params: {
"model": "vertex_ai/gemini-pro-1.5",
"vertex_project": "adroit-crow-1234",
"vertex_location": "us-east1" # 👈 AUTOMATICALLY INFERS 'region_name'
}
}
]
router = Router(model_list=model_list, enable_pre_call_checks=True)
```
**3. Test it!**

## Caching across model groups
If you want to cache across 2 different model groups (e.g. azure deployments, and openai), use caching groups.
```python
import litellm, asyncio, time
from litellm import Router
# set os env
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = ""
os.environ["AZURE_API_KEY"] = ""
os.environ["AZURE_API_BASE"] = ""
os.environ["AZURE_API_VERSION"] = ""
async def test_acompletion_caching_on_router_caching_groups():
# tests acompletion + caching on router
try:
litellm.set_verbose = True
model_list = [
{
"model_name": "openai-gpt-3.5-turbo",
"litellm_params": {
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo-0613",
"api_key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
},
},
{
"model_name": "azure-gpt-3.5-turbo",
"litellm_params": {
"model": "azure/chatgpt-v-2",
"api_key": os.getenv("AZURE_API_KEY"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE"),
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION")
},
}
]
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": f"write a one sentence poem {time.time()}?"}
]
start_time = time.time()
router = Router(model_list=model_list,
cache_responses=True,
caching_groups=[("openai-gpt-3.5-turbo", "azure-gpt-3.5-turbo")])
response1 = await router.acompletion(model="openai-gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages, temperature=1)
print(f"response1: {response1}")
await asyncio.sleep(1) # add cache is async, async sleep for cache to get set
response2 = await router.acompletion(model="azure-gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages, temperature=1)
assert response1.id == response2.id
assert len(response1.choices[0].message.content) > 0
assert response1.choices[0].message.content == response2.choices[0].message.content
except Exception as e:
traceback.print_exc()
asyncio.run(test_acompletion_caching_on_router_caching_groups())
```
## Alerting 🚨
Send alerts to slack / your webhook url for the following events
- LLM API Exceptions
- Slow LLM Responses
Get a slack webhook url from https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks
#### Usage
Initialize an `AlertingConfig` and pass it to `litellm.Router`. The following code will trigger an alert because `api_key=bad-key` which is invalid
```python
from litellm.router import AlertingConfig
import litellm
import os
router = litellm.Router(
model_list=[
{
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"litellm_params": {
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"api_key": "bad_key",
},
}
],
alerting_config= AlertingConfig(
alerting_threshold=10, # threshold for slow / hanging llm responses (in seconds). Defaults to 300 seconds
webhook_url= os.getenv("SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL") # webhook you want to send alerts to
),
)
try:
await router.acompletion(
model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going?"}],
)
except:
pass
```
## Track cost for Azure Deployments
**Problem**: Azure returns `gpt-4` in the response when `azure/gpt-4-1106-preview` is used. This leads to inaccurate cost tracking
**Solution** ✅ : Set `model_info["base_model"]` on your router init so litellm uses the correct model for calculating azure cost
Step 1. Router Setup
```python
from litellm import Router
model_list = [
{ # list of model deployments
"model_name": "gpt-4-preview", # model alias
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "azure/chatgpt-v-2", # actual model name
"api_key": os.getenv("AZURE_API_KEY"),
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE")
},
"model_info": {
"base_model": "azure/gpt-4-1106-preview" # azure/gpt-4-1106-preview will be used for cost tracking, ensure this exists in litellm model_prices_and_context_window.json
}
},
{
"model_name": "gpt-4-32k",
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "azure/chatgpt-functioncalling",
"api_key": os.getenv("AZURE_API_KEY"),
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE")
},
"model_info": {
"base_model": "azure/gpt-4-32k" # azure/gpt-4-32k will be used for cost tracking, ensure this exists in litellm model_prices_and_context_window.json
}
}
]
router = Router(model_list=model_list)
```
Step 2. Access `response_cost` in the custom callback, **litellm calculates the response cost for you**
```python
import litellm
from litellm.integrations.custom_logger import CustomLogger
class MyCustomHandler(CustomLogger):
def log_success_event(self, kwargs, response_obj, start_time, end_time):
print(f"On Success")
response_cost = kwargs.get("response_cost")
print("response_cost=", response_cost)
customHandler = MyCustomHandler()
litellm.callbacks = [customHandler]
# router completion call
response = router.completion(
model="gpt-4-32k",
messages=[{ "role": "user", "content": "Hi who are you"}]
)
```
#### Default litellm.completion/embedding params
You can also set default params for litellm completion/embedding calls. Here's how to do that:
```python
from litellm import Router
fallback_dict = {"gpt-3.5-turbo": "gpt-3.5-turbo-16k"}
router = Router(model_list=model_list,
default_litellm_params={"context_window_fallback_dict": fallback_dict})
user_message = "Hello, whats the weather in San Francisco??"
messages = [{"content": user_message, "role": "user"}]
# normal call
response = router.completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages)
print(f"response: {response}")
```
## Custom Callbacks - Track API Key, API Endpoint, Model Used
If you need to track the api_key, api endpoint, model, custom_llm_provider used for each completion call, you can setup a [custom callback](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/observability/custom_callback)
### Usage
```python
import litellm
from litellm.integrations.custom_logger import CustomLogger
class MyCustomHandler(CustomLogger):
def log_success_event(self, kwargs, response_obj, start_time, end_time):
print(f"On Success")
print("kwargs=", kwargs)
litellm_params= kwargs.get("litellm_params")
api_key = litellm_params.get("api_key")
api_base = litellm_params.get("api_base")
custom_llm_provider= litellm_params.get("custom_llm_provider")
response_cost = kwargs.get("response_cost")
# print the values
print("api_key=", api_key)
print("api_base=", api_base)
print("custom_llm_provider=", custom_llm_provider)
print("response_cost=", response_cost)
def log_failure_event(self, kwargs, response_obj, start_time, end_time):
print(f"On Failure")
print("kwargs=")
customHandler = MyCustomHandler()
litellm.callbacks = [customHandler]
# Init Router
router = Router(model_list=model_list, routing_strategy="simple-shuffle")

## Debugging Router
### Basic Debugging
Set `Router(set_verbose=True)`
```python
from litellm import Router
router = Router(
model_list=model_list,
set_verbose=True
)
```
### Detailed Debugging
Set `Router(set_verbose=True,debug_level="DEBUG")`
```python
from litellm import Router
router = Router(
model_list=model_list,
set_verbose=True,
debug_level="DEBUG" # defaults to INFO
)
```
### Very Detailed Debugging
Set `litellm.set_verbose=True` and `Router(set_verbose=True,debug_level="DEBUG")`
```python
from litellm import Router
import litellm
litellm.set_verbose = True
router = Router(
model_list=model_list,
set_verbose=True,
debug_level="DEBUG" # defaults to INFO
)
```
