🚅 LiteLLM
Call all LLM APIs using the OpenAI format [Bedrock, Huggingface, VertexAI, TogetherAI, Azure, OpenAI, etc.]
LiteLLM manages:
- Translate inputs to provider's `completion`, `embedding`, and `image_generation` endpoints
- [Consistent output](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/completion/output), text responses will always be available at `['choices'][0]['message']['content']`
- Retry/fallback logic across multiple deployments (e.g. Azure/OpenAI) - [Router](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/routing)
- Set Budgets & Rate limits per project, api key, model [OpenAI Proxy Server](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/simple_proxy)

[**Jump to Supported LLM Providers**](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-providers-docs)
🚨 **Stable Release:** Use docker images with: `main-stable` tag. These run through 12 hr load tests (1k req./min).
Support for more providers. Missing a provider or LLM Platform, raise a [feature request](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/issues/new?assignees=&labels=enhancement&projects=&template=feature_request.yml&title=%5BFeature%5D%3A+).
# 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)
```shell
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)
```
Call any model supported by a provider, with `model=/`. There might be provider-specific details here, so refer to [provider docs for more information](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers)
## Async ([Docs](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/completion/stream#async-completion))
```python
from litellm import acompletion
import asyncio
async def test_get_response():
user_message = "Hello, how are you?"
messages = [{"content": user_message, "role": "user"}]
response = await acompletion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages)
return response
response = asyncio.run(test_get_response())
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 "")
```
## Logging Observability ([Docs](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/observability/callbacks))
LiteLLM exposes pre defined callbacks to send data to Lunary, Langfuse, DynamoDB, s3 Buckets, Helicone, Promptlayer, Traceloop, Athina, Slack
```python
from litellm import completion
## set env variables for logging tools
os.environ["LUNARY_PUBLIC_KEY"] = "your-lunary-public-key"
os.environ["LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY"] = ""
os.environ["LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY"] = ""
os.environ["ATHINA_API_KEY"] = "your-athina-api-key"
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"]
# set callbacks
litellm.success_callback = ["lunary", "langfuse", "athina"] # log input/output to lunary, langfuse, supabase, athina etc
#openai call
response = completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hi 👋 - i'm openai"}])
```
# OpenAI Proxy - ([Docs](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/simple_proxy))
Track spend + Load Balance across multiple projects
[Hosted Proxy (Preview)](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/hosted)
The proxy provides:
1. [Hooks for auth](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/virtual_keys#custom-auth)
2. [Hooks for logging](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/logging#step-1---create-your-custom-litellm-callback-class)
3. [Cost tracking](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/virtual_keys#tracking-spend)
4. [Rate Limiting](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/users#set-rate-limits)
## 📖 Proxy Endpoints - [Swagger Docs](https://litellm-api.up.railway.app/)
## Quick Start Proxy - CLI
```shell
pip install 'litellm[proxy]'
```
### Step 1: Start litellm proxy
```shell
$ litellm --model huggingface/bigcode/starcoder
#INFO: Proxy running on http://0.0.0.0:4000
```
### Step 2: Make ChatCompletions Request to Proxy
```python
import openai # openai v1.0.0+
client = openai.OpenAI(api_key="anything",base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000") # 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)
```
## Proxy Key Management ([Docs](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/virtual_keys))
UI on `/ui` on your proxy server
Set budgets and rate limits across multiple projects
`POST /key/generate`
### Request
```shell
curl 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/key/generate' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"models": ["gpt-3.5-turbo", "gpt-4", "claude-2"], "duration": "20m","metadata": {"user": "ishaan@berri.ai", "team": "core-infra"}}'
```
### Expected Response
```shell
{
"key": "sk-kdEXbIqZRwEeEiHwdg7sFA", # Bearer token
"expires": "2023-11-19T01:38:25.838000+00:00" # datetime object
}
```
