Show HN: liteLLM Proxy Server: 50+ LLM Models, Error Handling, Caching

Hello hacker news,

I’m the maintainer of liteLLM() - package to simplify input/output to OpenAI, Azure, Cohere, Anthropic, Hugging face API Endpoints: https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/

We’re open sourcing our implementation of liteLLM proxy: https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/main/cookbook/proxy-...

TLDR: It has one API endpoint /chat/completions and standardizes input/output for 50+ LLM models + handles logging, error tracking, caching, streaming

What can liteLLM proxy do? - It’s a central place to manage all LLM provider integrations

- Consistent Input/Output Format - Call all models using the OpenAI format: completion(model, messages) - Text responses will always be available at ['choices'][0]['message']['content']

- Error Handling Using Model Fallbacks (if GPT-4 fails, try llama2)

- Logging - Log Requests, Responses and Errors to Supabase, Posthog, Mixpanel, Sentry, Helicone

- Token Usage & Spend - Track Input + Completion tokens used + Spend/model

- Caching - Implementation of Semantic Caching

- Streaming & Async Support - Return generators to stream text responses

You can deploy liteLLM to your own infrastructure using Railway, GCP, AWS, Azure

Happy completion() !
