🚅 LiteLLM
Call all LLM APIs using the OpenAI format [Bedrock, Huggingface, Cohere, TogetherAI, Azure, OpenAI, etc.]
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.
- Load-balance across multiple deployments (e.g. Azure/OpenAI) - `Router` **1k+ requests/second**
# Usage ([**Docs**](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/))
> [!IMPORTANT]
> LiteLLM v1.0.0 now requires `openai>=1.0.0`. Migration guide [here](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/migration)
```
pip install litellm
```
```python
from litellm import completion
import os
## set ENV variables
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-openai-key"
os.environ["COHERE_API_KEY"] = "your-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)
print(response)
```
## Streaming ([Docs](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/completion/stream))
liteLLM supports streaming the model response back, pass `stream=True` to get a streaming iterator in response.
Streaming is supported for all models (Bedrock, Huggingface, TogetherAI, Azure, OpenAI, etc.)
```python
from litellm import completion
response = completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages, stream=True)
for part in response:
print(part.choices[0].delta.content or "")
# claude 2
response = completion('claude-2', messages, stream=True)
for part in response:
print(part.choices[0].delta.content or "")
```
## OpenAI Proxy - ([Docs](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/simple_proxy))
LiteLLM Proxy manages:
* Calling 100+ LLMs Huggingface/Bedrock/TogetherAI/etc. in the OpenAI ChatCompletions & Completions format
* Load balancing - between Multiple Models + Deployments of the same model LiteLLM proxy can handle 1k+ requests/second during load tests
* Authentication & Spend Tracking Virtual Keys
### Step 1: Start litellm proxy
```shell
$ litellm --model huggingface/bigcode/starcoder
#INFO: Proxy running on http://0.0.0.0:8000
```
### Step 2: Replace openai base
```python
import openai # openai v1.0.0+
client = openai.OpenAI(api_key="anything",base_url="http://0.0.0.0:8000") # set proxy to base_url
# request sent to model set on litellm proxy, `litellm --model`
response = client.chat.completions.create(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "this is a test request, write a short poem"
}
])
print(response)
```
## Logging Observability ([Docs](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/observability/callbacks))
LiteLLM exposes pre defined callbacks to send data to Langfuse, LLMonitor, Helicone, Promptlayer, Traceloop, Slack
```python
from litellm import completion
## set env variables for logging tools
os.environ["LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY"] = ""
os.environ["LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY"] = ""
os.environ["LLMONITOR_APP_ID"] = "your-llmonitor-app-id"
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"]
# set callbacks
litellm.success_callback = ["langfuse", "llmonitor"] # log input/output to langfuse, llmonitor, supabase
#openai call
response = completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hi 👋 - i'm openai"}])
```

# Why did we build this
- **Need for simplicity**: Our code started to get extremely complicated managing & translating calls between Azure, OpenAI and Cohere.
