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.

10/05/2023: LiteLLM is adopting Semantic Versioning for all commits. Learn more

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 (Docs)

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 (Docs)

Create an OpenAI API compatible server to call any non-openai model (e.g. Huggingface, TogetherAI, Ollama, etc.)

This works for async + streaming as well.

litellm --model <model_name>

#INFO: litellm proxy running on http://0.0.0.0:8000

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

Self-host server (Docs)

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm.git

2. Modify template_secrets.toml

[keys]
OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."

[general]
default_model = "gpt-3.5-turbo"

3. Deploy

docker build -t litellm . && docker run -p 8000:8000 litellm

Logging Observability - Log LLM Input/Output (Docs)

LiteLLM exposes pre defined callbacks to send data to LLMonitor, Langfuse, Helicone, Promptlayer, Traceloop, Slack

from litellm import completion

## set env variables for logging tools
os.environ["PROMPTLAYER_API_KEY"] = "your-promptlayer-key"
os.environ["LLMONITOR_APP_ID"] = "your-llmonitor-app-id"

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"]

# set callbacks
litellm.success_callback = ["promptlayer", "llmonitor"] # log input/output to promptlayer, llmonitor, supabase

#openai call
response = completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hi 👋 - i'm openai"}])
