Call all LLM APIs using the OpenAI format [Bedrock, Huggingface, VertexAI, TogetherAI, Azure, OpenAI, etc.]
LiteLLM manages:
- Translate inputs to provider's
completion
,embedding
, andimage_generation
endpoints - Consistent output, text responses will always be available at
['choices'][0]['message']['content']
- Retry/fallback logic across multiple deployments (e.g. Azure/OpenAI) - Router

Usage (Docs)
Important
LiteLLM v1.0.0 now requires openai>=1.0.0
. Migration guide here
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, DynamoDB, s3 Buckets, 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
The proxy provides:
📖 Proxy Endpoints - Swagger Docs
pip install 'litellm[proxy]'
$ litellm --model huggingface/bigcode/starcoder
#INFO: Proxy running on http://0.0.0.0:8000
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
curl 'http://0.0.0.0:8000/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"}}'
