100+ Supported Models

LiteLLM manages

• Translating inputs to the provider's completion and embedding endpoints
• Guarantees consistent 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

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

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

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'])

OpenAI Proxy Server

Spin up a local server to translate openai api calls to any non-openai model (e.g. Huggingface, TogetherAI, Ollama, etc.)

This works for async + streaming as well.

litellm --model <model_name>

Running your model locally or on a custom endpoint ? Set the --api-base parameter see how
