🚅 LiteLLM

Call all LLM APIs using the OpenAI format [Bedrock, Huggingface, Cohere, TogetherAI, Azure, OpenAI, etc.]

OpenAI Proxy Server

PyPI Version CircleCI Y Combinator W23 Whatsapp Discord

LiteLLM manages:

  • Translate inputs to provider's completion and embedding endpoints
  • Consistent output, text responses will always be available at ['choices'][0]['message']['content']
  • Load-balance multiple deployments (e.g. Azure/OpenAI) - Router 1k+ requests/second

Usage (Docs)

[!IMPORTANT] LiteLLM v1.0.0 now requires openai>=1.0.0. Migration guide here

Open In Colab
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)

Async (Docs)

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)

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.)

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)

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

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"}])

OpenAI Proxy - (Docs)

Track spend across multiple projects/people

📖 Proxy Endpoints - Swagger Docs

Quick Start Proxy - CLI

pip install litellm[proxy]

Step 1: Start litellm proxy

$ litellm --model huggingface/bigcode/starcoder

#INFO: Proxy running on http://0.0.0.0:8000

Step 2: Make ChatCompletions Request to Proxy

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)

Proxy Key Management (Docs)

Track Spend, Set budgets and create virtual keys for the proxy POST /key/generate

Request

Why did we build this

  • Need for simplicity: Our code started to get extremely complicated managing & translating calls between Azure, OpenAI and Cohere.
