# 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 [OpenAI 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
```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")
}
}, {
"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"),
}
}]
router = Router(model_list=model_list)
# openai.ChatCompletion.create replacement
response = await router.acompletion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going?"}])
print(response)
```
### Available Endpoints
- `router.completion()` - chat completions endpoint to call 100+ LLMs
- `router.acompletion()` - async chat completion calls
- `router.embeddings()` - embedding endpoint for Azure, OpenAI, Huggingface endpoints
- `router.aembeddings()` - async embeddings endpoint
- `router.text_completion()` - completion calls in the old OpenAI `/v1/completions` endpoint format
### Advanced
#### Routing Strategies - Weighted Pick, Rate Limit Aware
Router provides 2 strategies for routing your calls across multiple deployments:
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="simple-shuffle" label="Weighted Pick">
**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
```python
from litellm import Router
import asyncio
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"),
"rpm": 900, # requests per minute for this API
}
}, {
"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"),
"rpm": 10,
}
}, {
"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"),
"rpm": 10,
}
}]
# init router
router = Router(model_list=model_list, routing_strategy="simple-shuffle")
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())
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="usage-based" label="Rate-Limit Aware">
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.
```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,
"rpm": 1000,
}, {
"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 = 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="simple-shuffle")
response = await router.acompletion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going?"}]
print(response)
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## Basic Reliability
### 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.
```python
from litellm import Router
model_list = [{...}]
router = Router(model_list=model_list,
timeout=30) # raise timeout error if call takes > 30s
print(response)
```
### 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.
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}")
```
### 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}")
```
### Fallbacks
If a call fails after num_retries, fall back to another model group.
If the error is a context window exceeded error, fall back to a larger model group (if given).
```python
from litellm import Router
model_list = [
{ # list of model deployments
"model_name": "azure/gpt-3.5-turbo", # 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")
},
"tpm": 240000,
"rpm": 1800
},
{ # list of model deployments
"model_name": "azure/gpt-3.5-turbo-context-fallback", # 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")
},
"tpm": 240000,
"rpm": 1800
},
{
"model_name": "azure/gpt-3.5-turbo", # openai model name
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "azure/chatgpt-functioncalling",
"api_key": "bad-key",
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE")
},
"tpm": 240000,
"rpm": 1800
},
{
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo", # openai model name
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"api_key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
},
"tpm": 1000000,
"rpm": 9000
},
{
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo-16k", # openai model name
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo-16k",
"api_key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
},
"tpm": 1000000,
"rpm": 9000
}
]
router = Router(model_list=model_list,
fallbacks=[{"azure/gpt-3.5-turbo": ["gpt-3.5-turbo"]}],
context_window_fallbacks=[{"azure/gpt-3.5-turbo-context-fallback": ["gpt-3.5-turbo-16k"]}, {"gpt-3.5-turbo": ["gpt-3.5-turbo-16k"]}],
set_verbose=True)
user_message = "Hello, whats the weather in San Francisco??"
messages = [{"content": user_message, "role": "user"}]
# normal fallback call
response = router.completion(model="azure/gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages)
# context window fallback call
response = router.completion(model="azure/gpt-3.5-turbo-context-fallback", messages=messages)
print(f"response: {response}")
```
### 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)
```
## 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())
```
#### 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}")
```
