Error Handling and Best Practices

Robust Error Handling

from SimplerLLM.language.llm import LLM, LLMProvider
from SimplerLLM.language.llm_addons import generate_pydantic_json_model

try:
    llm = LLM.create(provider=LLMProvider.OPENAI, model_name="gpt-4o")
    
    result = generate_pydantic_json_model(
        llm_instance=llm,
        prompt="Generate a summary",
        model_class=MovieRecommendation,
        max_retries=3
    )
    
    if isinstance(result, str):  # Error case
        print(f"Error: {result}")
    else:
        print(f"Success: {result}")
        
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Exception: {e}")

Cost Calculation

from SimplerLLM.language.llm_addons import calculate_text_generation_costs

input_text = "Your input prompt here"
output_text = "Generated response here"

cost_info = calculate_text_generation_costs(
    input=input_text,
    response=output_text,
    cost_per_million_input_tokens=2.50,  # Example: GPT-4 pricing
    cost_per_million_output_tokens=10.00,
    approximate=True  # Use approximate token counting
)

print(f"Input tokens: {cost_info['input_tokens']}")
print(f"Output tokens: {cost_info['output_tokens']}")
print(f"Total cost: ${cost_info['total_cost']:.6f}")
