# LiteLLM Rust
|
|
|
|
This workspace contains the staged Rust implementation for LiteLLM.
|
|
|
|
`litellm-core` is the LiteLLM SDK in Rust: one entrypoint per top-level call
|
|
that makes the LLM call and hands back a typed response, the same shape as
|
|
`litellm.messages()` in Python.
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
let response = litellm_core::messages::messages(MessagesRequest {
|
|
model: "claude-sonnet-4-5",
|
|
body,
|
|
api_key: Some(key),
|
|
..
|
|
})
|
|
.await?;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Python continues to own configuration, retries, routing policy, logging,
|
|
callbacks, spend tracking, and customer plugins until each Rust path has parity
|
|
coverage and production evidence.
|
|
|
|
## Crates
|
|
|
|
| Crate | Role |
|
|
|-------|------|
|
|
| litellm-core | The SDK. Per-route entrypoints (`messages::messages()`), types, provider transforms (modules under `providers/`), provider resolution, auth, the provider HTTP call, and the router. |
|
|
| litellm-config | Config-loading boundary. Returns resolved deployments and optionally delegates loading to Python. |
|
|
| litellm-ai-gateway | The axum server (behind the `server` feature) and WebSocket hosts. Translates HTTP/WS to core entrypoints; no provider handlers. |
|
|
| litellm-python-interop | Domain-neutral PyO3 foundation for GIL handling and typed Python/Serde conversion. |
|
|
| litellm-python-bridge | PyO3 cdylib exposing LiteLLM Rust APIs to the Python SDK. Owns API registration, domain wiring, and Python exception mapping. |
|
|
|
|
Dependency direction is acyclic: config depends on core, the gateway depends on config and core, and the Python bridge depends on the domain layers and Python interop.
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
crates/
|
|
core/ The SDK: route modules + provider transforms.
|
|
src/messages/ mod.rs (entrypoint), types, transformation, prepare, handler, client
|
|
src/providers/anthropic/messages/transformation.rs
|
|
config/ Config loading and resolved deployments.
|
|
ai-gateway/ Axum server + WebSocket hosts; calls core entrypoints.
|
|
python-interop/ Domain-neutral PyO3 conversion and GIL primitives.
|
|
python-bridge/ PyO3 API adapter for Python LiteLLM.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The folder shape follows the Python provider tree:
|
|
`core/src/providers/<provider>/<route>/transformation.rs`. The bridge exposes one
|
|
function per top-level route, mirroring the core entrypoints.
|
|
|
|
## Checks
|
|
|
|
Run the commands under "Checks" in [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md) before pushing Rust
|
|
changes. That list is the single source of truth and matches what GitHub Actions
|
|
runs for changes under `litellm-rust/`.
