⚠️ DEPRECATION WARNING: LiteLLM is our new home. You can find the LiteLLM Proxy there. Thank you for checking us out! ❤️

Step 1: Put your API keys in .env Copy the .env.template and put in the relevant keys (e.g. OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..")

Step 2: Test your proxy Start your proxy server

$ cd litellm-proxy && python3 main.py 

Make your first call

import openai 

openai.api_key = "sk-litellm-master-key"
openai.api_base = "http://0.0.0.0:8080"

response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey"}])

print(response)

• Make /chat/completions requests for 50+ LLM models Azure, OpenAI, Replicate, Anthropic, Hugging Face

  Example: for model use claude-2, gpt-3.5, gpt-4, command-nightly, stabilityai/stablecode-completion-alpha-3b-4k

  {
    "model": "replicate/llama-2-70b-chat:2c1608e18606fad2812020dc541930f2d0495ce32eee50074220b87300bc16e1",
    "messages": [
      {
        "content": "Hello, whats the weather in San Francisco??",
        "role": "user"
      }
    ]
  }

• Consistent Input/Output Format

  • Call all models using the OpenAI format - completion(model, messages)
  • Text responses will always be available at ['choices'][0]['message']['content']

• Error Handling Using Model Fallbacks (if GPT-4 fails, try llama2)

• Logging - Log Requests, Responses and Errors to Supabase, Posthog, Mixpanel, Sentry, LLMonitor, Traceloop, Helicone (Any of the supported providers here: https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/

  Example: Logs sent to Supabase

• Token Usage & Spend - Track Input + Completion tokens used + Spend/model

• Caching - Implementation of Semantic Caching

• Streaming & Async Support - Return generators to stream text responses

This endpoint is used to generate chat completions for 50+ support LLM API Models. Use llama2, GPT-4, Claude2 etc

This API endpoint accepts all inputs in raw JSON and expects the following inputs

• model (string, required): ID of the model to use for chat completions. See all supported models [here]: (https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/): eg gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4, claude-2, command-nightly, stabilityai/stablecode-completion-alpha-3b-4k
• messages (array, required): A list of messages representing the conversation context. Each message should have a role (system, user, assistant, or function), content (message text), and name (for function role).
• Additional Optional parameters: temperature, functions, function_call, top_p, n, stream. See the full list of supported inputs here: https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/

For claude-2

{
  "model": "claude-2",
  "messages": [
    {
      "content": "Hello, whats the weather in San Francisco??",
      "role": "user"
    }
  ]
}

import requests
import json

# TODO: use your URL
url = "http://localhost:5000/chat/completions"

payload = json.dumps({
  "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
  "messages": [
    {
      "content": "Hello, whats the weather in San Francisco??",
      "role": "user"
    }
  ]
})
headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)

Responses from the server are given in the following format. All responses from the server are returned in the following format (for all LLM models). More info on output here: https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/

1. Clone liteLLM repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/BerriAI/liteLLM-proxy
   

2. Install the required dependencies using pip

   pip install requirements.txt
   

3. (optional)Set your LiteLLM proxy master key

   os.environ['LITELLM_PROXY_MASTER_KEY]` = "YOUR_LITELLM_PROXY_MASTER_KEY"
   or
   set LITELLM_PROXY_MASTER_KEY in your .env file
   

4. Set your LLM API keys

   os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY]` = "YOUR_API_KEY"
   or
   set OPENAI_API_KEY in your .env file
   

5. Run the server:

   python main.py
   

1. Quick Start: Deploy on Railway

   

2. GCP, AWS, Azure This project includes a Dockerfile allowing you to build and deploy a Docker Project on your providers
