litellm 1.1.1

Library to easily interface with LLM API providers

🚅 LiteLLM

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

Evaluate LLMs → OpenAI-Compatible Server

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 (Docs)

[!IMPORTANT] LiteLLM v1.0.0 is 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)

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 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 - (Docs)

If you want to use non-openai models in an openai code base, you can use litellm proxy. Create a server to call 100+ LLMs (Huggingface/Bedrock/TogetherAI/etc) in the OpenAI ChatCompletions & Completions format

Step 1: Start litellm proxy

$ litellm --model huggingface/bigcode/starcoder

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

Step 2: Replace openai base

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)

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"}])
