Call all LLM APIs using the OpenAI format [Anthropic, Huggingface, Cohere, TogetherAI, Azure, OpenAI, etc.]
📣1-click deploy your own LLM proxy server. Grab time, if you're interested!
LiteLLM manages - Translating inputs to the provider's completion and embedding endpoints - Guarantees [consistent output](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/completion/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 # Usage
```
pip install litellm
```
```python
from litellm import completion
import os
## set ENV variables
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "openai key"
os.environ["COHERE_API_KEY"] = "cohere key"
messages = [{ "content": "Hello, how are you?","role": "user"}]
# openai call
response = completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages)
# cohere call
response = completion(model="command-nightly", messages=messages)
```
Stable version
```
pip install litellm==0.1.424
```
## Streaming
liteLLM supports streaming the model response back, pass `stream=True` to get a streaming iterator in response.
Streaming is supported for OpenAI, Azure, Anthropic, Huggingface 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'])
```
