* fix: resolve mypy type errors in hiddenlayer guardrail and transformation - Fix return type of apply_guardrail from str to GenericGuardrailAPIInputs - Add None checks for logging_obj before accessing attributes - Convert AllMessageValues to dict format for HiddenLayer API compatibility - Fix payload type annotation in _call_hiddenlayer - Ensure transformed_output always returns list[dict[str, Any]] in transformation.py * fix: use litellm_call_id as trace_id fallback in langfuse logging - Only use standard_logging_object.trace_id if explicitly set via litellm_session_id or litellm_trace_id params - Fallback to litellm_call_id when no explicit trace_id is provided (matches test expectation) - Return the trace_id we set instead of generation_client.trace_id for consistency - Add warning if langfuse modifies the trace_id to help debug potential issues Fixes test_logging_trace_id test failure where auto-generated UUID was used instead of litellm_call_id * fix: document envs * fix: handle None response in /spend/logs endpoint when no records found - Return empty list [] instead of [None] when spend_log is None - Prevents 500 errors when querying by request_id, api_key, or user_id with no matching records - Fixes test_chat_completion_bad_model_with_spend_logs test failure * fix: use standard_logging_object trace_id when available in langfuse logger - Fix trace_id selection logic to use standard_logging_object.trace_id when available - Previously only used standard_logging_object.trace_id if explicitly set via params - Now uses standard_logging_object.trace_id whenever it's present, matching test expectations - Falls back to litellm_call_id if no trace_id is found - Fixes test_log_langfuse_v2_uses_standard_trace_id_when_available test failure |

🚅 LiteLLM
Call all LLM APIs using the OpenAI format [Bedrock, Huggingface, VertexAI, TogetherAI, Azure, OpenAI, Groq etc.]
LiteLLM Proxy Server (LLM Gateway) | Hosted Proxy | Enterprise Tier
LiteLLM manages:
- Translate inputs to provider's
completion,embedding, andimage_generationendpoints - Consistent output, text responses will always be available at
['choices'][0]['message']['content'] - Retry/fallback logic across multiple deployments (e.g. Azure/OpenAI) - Router
- Set Budgets & Rate limits per project, api key, model LiteLLM Proxy Server (LLM Gateway)
LiteLLM Performance: 8ms P95 latency at 1k RPS (See benchmarks here)

🚨 Stable Release: Use docker images with the -stable tag. These have undergone 12 hour load tests, before being published. More information about the release cycle here
Support for more providers. Missing a provider or LLM Platform, raise a feature request.
Usage (Docs)
pip install litellm
from litellm import completion
import os
## set ENV variables
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-openai-key"
os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"] = "your-anthropic-key"
messages = [{ "content": "Hello, how are you?","role": "user"}]
# openai call
response = completion(model="openai/gpt-4o", messages=messages)
# anthropic call
response = completion(model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514", messages=messages)
print(response)
Response (OpenAI Format)
{
"id": "chatcmpl-1214900a-6cdd-4148-b663-b5e2f642b4de",
"created": 1751494488,

"object": "chat.completion",
"system_fingerprint": null,
"choices": [
{
"finish_reason": "stop",
"index": 0,
"message": {
"content": "Hello! I'm doing well, thank you for asking. I'm here and ready to help with whatever you'd like to discuss or work on. How are you doing today?",
"role": "assistant",
"tool_calls": null,
"function_call": null
}
}
],
"usage": {
"completion_tokens": 39,
"prompt_tokens": 13,
"total_tokens": 52,
"completion_tokens_details": null,
"prompt_tokens_details": {
"audio_tokens": null,
"cached_tokens": 0
},
"cache_creation_input_tokens": 0,
"cache_read_input_tokens": 0
}
}
Note: LiteLLM also supports the Responses API (
litellm.responses())
Call any model supported by a provider, with model=<provider_name>/<model_name>. There might be provider-specific details here, so refer to provider docs for more information
Async (Docs)
from litellm import acompletion
import asyncio
async def test_get_response():
user_message = "Hello, how are you?"
messages = [{"content": user_message, "role": "user"}]
response = await acompletion(model="openai/gpt-4o", messages=messages)
return response
response = asyncio.run(test_get_response())
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
messages = [{"content": "Hello, how are you?", "role": "user"}]
# gpt-4o
response = completion(model="openai/gpt-4o", messages=messages, stream=True)
for part in response:
print(part.choices[0].delta.content or "")
# claude sonnet 4
response = completion('anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514', messages, stream=True)
for part in response:
print(part)

Logging Observability (Docs)
LiteLLM exposes pre defined callbacks to send data to Lunary, MLflow, Langfuse, DynamoDB, s3 Buckets, Helicone, Promptlayer, Traceloop, Athina, Slack
from litellm import completion
## set env variables for logging tools (when using MLflow, no API key set up is required)
os.environ["LUNARY_PUBLIC_KEY"] = "your-lunary-public-key"
os.environ["HELICONE_API_KEY"] = "your-helicone-auth-key"
os.environ["LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY"] = ""
os.environ["LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY"] = ""
os.environ["ATHINA_API_KEY"] = "your-athina-api-key"
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-openai-key"
# set callbacks
litellm.success_callback = ["lunary", "mlflow", "langfuse", "athina", "helicone"] # log input/output to lunary, langfuse, supabase, athina, helicone etc
#openai call
response = completion(model="openai/gpt-4o", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hi 👋 - i'm openai"}])
LiteLLM Proxy Server (LLM Gateway) - (Docs)
Track spend + Load Balance across multiple projects
The proxy provides:
📖 Proxy Endpoints - Swagger Docs
Quick Start Proxy - CLI
pip install 'litellm[proxy]'
Step 1: Start litellm proxy
$ litellm --model huggingface/bigcode/starcoder
#INFO: Proxy running on http://0.0.0.0:4000
Step 2: Make ChatCompletions Request to Proxy
Important
import openai # openai v1.0.0+
client = openai.OpenAI(api_key="anything",base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000") # 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)
Proxy Key Management (Docs)
Connect the proxy with a Postgres DB to create proxy keys
# Get the code
git clone https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm
# Go to folder
cd litellm
# Add the master key - you can change this after setup
echo 'LITELLM_MASTER_KEY="sk-1234"' > .env
# Add the litellm salt key - you cannot change this after adding a model
# It is used to encrypt / decrypt your LLM API Key credentials
# We recommend - https://1password.com/password-generator/
# password generator to get a random hash for litellm salt key
echo 'LITELLM_SALT_KEY="sk-1234"' >> .env
# Start
docker compose up
UI on /ui on your proxy server
Set budgets and rate limits across multiple projects
POST /key/generate
Request
curl 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/key/generate' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"models": ["gpt-3.5-turbo", "gpt-4", "claude-2"], "duration": "20m","metadata": {"user": "ishaan@berri.ai", "team": "core-infra"}}'
Expected Response
{
