Unified multi-provider LLM caller with automatic fallback

Project description

Omnicall LLM

A unified, lightweight LLM caller library implemented for both Node.js (TypeScript/ESM/CJS) and Python. It simplifies integrating LLMs from multiple hosting providers and provides built-in, sequential fallback orchestration.

If one provider fails (due to rate limits, server errors, or invalid keys), it automatically catches the error and falls back to the next provider in the chain.


Features

  • Multi-Provider Support: Out-of-the-box integration for:
    • Google Gemini (AI Studio)
    • Groq
    • SambaNova Cloud
    • Cerebras Inference
    • OpenRouter
    • Mistral AI
    • OpenAI
  • Automatic Fallback Routing: If a call fails, it automatically falls back to the next available provider.
  • Environment Key Auto-Detection: Uses default model settings and detects available keys in your environment variables automatically.
  • Customizable Fallback Chains: Explicitly define a custom array of providers and model variations.
  • Zero SDK Dependencies: Uses native HTTP agents (fetch in Node, urllib in Python) to keep package footprints small and free from version conflicts.
  • Standardized Response Structure: Returns a unified JSON output indicating exactly which provider/model succeeded, the returned text, usage statistics, and any errors encountered during the fallback sequence.

Getting Started

Node.js / TypeScript

Installation

npm install omnicall-llm

Usage

import { OmniCall } from 'omnicall-llm';

// Reads process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY, process.env.GROQ_API_KEY, etc.
const client = new OmniCall();

const result = await client.generate("Write a haiku about recursion.");

console.log(result.text);
console.log(`Responded by: ${result.provider} (${result.model})`);

Python

Installation

pip install omnicall-llm

Usage

from omnicall_llm import OmniCall

# Reads os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"], os.environ["GROQ_API_KEY"], etc.
client = OmniCall()

result = client.generate("Write a haiku about recursion.")

print(result.text)
print(f"Responded by: {result.provider} ({result.model})")

Environment Variables & Default Models

omnicall-llm reads the following environment variables. Set any or all of them depending on which providers you want to make available:

Provider Environment Variable Default Model Base URL (OpenAI-compatible)
Google Gemini GEMINI_API_KEY gemini-2.5-flash Direct Google REST API
Groq GROQ_API_KEY llama-3.3-70b-versatile https://api.groq.com/openai/v1
SambaNova SAMBANOVA_API_KEY Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct https://api.sambanova.ai/v1
Cerebras CEREBRAS_API_KEY llama-3.3-70b https://api.cerebras.ai/v1
OpenRouter OPENROUTER_API_KEY meta-llama/llama-3.3-70b-instruct:free https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
Mistral AI MISTRAL_API_KEY mistral-large-latest https://api.mistral.ai/v1
OpenAI OPENAI_API_KEY gpt-4o-mini https://api.openai.com/v1

Combined Free Tier Capacity & Failover Resiliency

By pooling multiple free-tier inference APIs in a single fallback chain, omnicall-llm effectively constructs a massive, highly resilient consolidated budget of free LLM access. If one provider rate-limits you, the library transparently failovers to the next provider, meaning your daily request and token capacities are sum-totaled.

Here is a calculation of your Combined Free capacity when all keys are active:

Provider Free Daily Request Limit Free Daily Token Limit Key Feature / Benefit
Google Gemini 1,500 requests / day 1,500,000 tokens / day Massively large context window (1M+ tokens)
Groq 14,400 requests / day ~5,000,000 tokens / day Fast low-latency generation
SambaNova ~5,000 requests / day ~10,000,000 tokens / day Standard meta-llama-3 models
Cerebras ~10,000 requests / day 1,000,000 tokens / day Ultra-fast token execution speeds
Mistral AI ~1,000 requests / day ~2,000,000 tokens / day European frontier weights
OpenRouter 50 requests / day ~100,000 tokens / day Free multi-model routing backup
OpenAI (Sandbox) 200 requests / day ~100,000 tokens / day Standard fallback backup
LUMPSUM TOTAL 32,150+ requests / day 23,700,000+ tokens / day Highly Resilient & Redundant pooled limits

[!TIP] Total Pooled Capacity: With all free API keys configured, omnicall-llm gives you a combined pool of over 32,000 daily requests and 23+ Million daily tokens completely free. This makes it perfect for running large background agent loops (like cold mail outreach scanners) without paying a single dollar in inference costs!


LangChain Integration

You can easily wrap OmniCall in a custom LangChain model class to use it within standard LangChain workflows:

Node.js (LangChain.js)

import { SimpleChatModel } from "@langchain/core/language_models/chat_models";
import { OmniCall } from "omnicall-llm";

export class OmniCallChatModel extends SimpleChatModel {
  private client = new OmniCall();

  async _call(prompt: string): Promise<string> {
    const response = await this.client.generate(prompt);
    if (response.success) return response.text;
    throw new Error(`OmniCall failed: ${JSON.stringify(response.errors)}`);
  }

  _llmType(): string {
    return "omnicall";
  }
}

Python (LangChain)

from typing import Any, List, Optional
from langchain_core.language_models.llms import LLM
from omnicall_llm import OmniCall

class OmniCallLLM(LLM):
    client: Any = None

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        self.client = OmniCall()

    def _call(self, prompt: str, **kwargs: Any) -> str:
        response = self.client.generate(prompt, **kwargs)
        if response.success:
            return response.text
        raise RuntimeError(f"OmniCall failed. Errors: {response.errors}")

    @property
    def _llm_type(self) -> str:
        return "omnicall"
