* fix(proxy): prevent provider-prefixed model leaks Proxy clients should not see LiteLLM internal provider prefixes (e.g. hosted_vllm/...) in the OpenAI-compatible response model field. This patch sanitizes the client-facing model name for both: - Non-streaming responses returned from base_process_llm_request - Streaming SSE chunks emitted by async_data_generator Adds regression tests covering vLLM-style hosted_vllm routing for both streaming and non-streaming paths. * chore(lint): suppress PLR0915 in proxy handler Ruff started flagging ProxyBaseLLMRequestProcessing.base_process_llm_request() for too many statements after the hotpatch changes. Add an explicit '# noqa: PLR0915' on the function definition to avoid a large refactor in a hotpatch. * refactor(proxy): make model restamp explicit Replace silent try/except/pass and type ignores with explicit model restamping. - Logs an error when the downstream response model differs from the client-requested model - Overwrites the OpenAI `model` field to the client-requested value to avoid leaking internal provider-prefixed identifiers - Applies the same behavior to streaming chunks, logging the mismatch only once per stream * chore(lint): drop PLR0915 suppression The model restamping bugfix made `base_process_llm_request()` slightly exceed Ruff's PLR0915 (too-many-statements) threshold, requiring a `# noqa` suppression. Collapse consecutive `hidden_params` extractions into tuple unpacking so the function falls back under the lint limit and remove the suppression. No functional change intended; this keeps the proxy model-field bugfix intact while aligning with project linting rules. * chore(proxy): log model mismatches as warnings These model-restamping logs are intentionally verbose: a mismatch is a useful signal that an internal provider/deployment identifier may be leaking into the public OpenAI response `model` field. - Downgrade model mismatch logs from error -> warning - Keep error logs only for cases where the proxy cannot read/override the model * fix(proxy): preserve client model for streaming aliasing Pre-call processing can rewrite request_data['model'] via model alias maps.\n\nOur streaming SSE generator was using the rewritten value when restamping chunk.model, which caused the public 'model' field to differ between streaming and non-streaming responses for alias-based requests.\n\nStash the original client model in request_data as _litellm_client_requested_model after the model has been routed, and prefer it when overriding the outgoing chunk model. Add a regression test for the alias-mapping case. * chore(lint): satisfy PLR0915 in streaming generator Ruff started flagging async_data_generator() for too many statements after adding model restamping logic.\n\nExtract the client-model selection + chunk restamping into small helpers to keep behavior unchanged while meeting the project's PLR0915 threshold. |

LiteLLM Proxy Server (AI Gateway) | Hosted Proxy | Enterprise Tier
Use LiteLLM for
LLMs - Call 100+ LLMs (Python SDK + AI Gateway)
All Supported Endpoints - /chat/completions, /responses, /embeddings, /images, /audio, /batches, /rerank, /a2a, /messages and more.
Python SDK
pip install litellm
from litellm import completion
import os
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-openai-key"
os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"] = "your-anthropic-key"
# OpenAI
response = completion(model="openai/gpt-4o", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}])
# Anthropic
response = completion(model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}])
AI Gateway (Proxy Server)
Getting Started - E2E Tutorial - Setup virtual keys, make your first request
pip install 'litellm[proxy]'
litellm --model gpt-4o
import openai
client = openai.OpenAI(api_key="anything", base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000")
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-4o",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)
Agents - Invoke A2A Agents (Python SDK + AI Gateway)

How to use LiteLLM
You can use LiteLLM through either the Proxy Server or Python SDK. Both gives you a unified interface to access multiple LLMs (100+ LLMs). Choose the option that best fits your needs:
| LiteLLM AI Gateway | LiteLLM Python SDK | |
|---|---|---|
| Use Case | Central service (LLM Gateway) to access multiple LLMs | Use LiteLLM directly in your Python code |
| Who Uses It? | Gen AI Enablement / ML Platform Teams | Developers building LLM projects |
| Key Features | Centralized API gateway with authentication and authorization, multi-tenant cost tracking and spend management per project/user, per-project customization (logging, guardrails, caching), virtual keys for secure access control, admin dashboard UI for monitoring and management | Direct Python library integration in your codebase, Router with retry/fallback logic across multiple deployments (e.g. Azure/OpenAI) - Router, application-level load balancing and cost tracking, exception handling with OpenAI-compatible errors, observability callbacks (Lunary, MLflow, Langfuse, etc.) |
LiteLLM Performance: 8ms P95 latency at 1k RPS (See benchmarks here)
