LiteLLM supports OpenAI text completion models

Required API Keys

import os 
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"]="your-api-key"

Usage

import os 
from litellm import completion

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"]="your-api-key"

# openai call
response = completion(
model ="gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct",
messages=[{"content":"Hello, how are you?","role":"user"}]
)

Usage - LiteLLM Proxy Server

Here's how to call OpenAI models with the LiteLLM Proxy Server

1. Save key in your environment

export OPENAI_API_KEY=""

2. Start the proxy

  • config.yaml
  • config.yaml - proxy all OpenAI models
  • CLI
model_list:
-model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
litellm_params:
model: openai/gpt-3.5-turbo # The `openai/` prefix will call openai.chat.completions.create
api_key: os.environ/OPENAI_API_KEY
-model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct
litellm_params:
model: text-completion-openai/gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct # The `text-completion-openai/` prefix will call openai.completions.create
api_key: os.environ/OPENAI_API_KEY

Use this to add all openai models with one API Key. WARNING: This will not do any load balancing This means requests to gpt-4, gpt-3.5-turbo , gpt-4-turbo-preview will all go through this route

model_list:
-model_name:"*"# all requests where model not in your config go to this deployment
litellm_params:
model: openai/* # set `openai/` to use the openai route
api_key: os.environ/OPENAI_API_KEY
$ litellm --model gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct

# Server running on http://0.0.0.0:4000

3. Test it

  • Curl Request
  • OpenAI v1.0.0+
  • Langchain
curl --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/chat/completions' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data ' {
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct",
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "what llm are you"
}
]
}
'
import openai
client = openai.OpenAI(
api_key="anything",
base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000"
)

# request sent to model set on litellm proxy, `litellm --model`
response = client.chat.completions.create(model="gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct", messages =[
{
"role":"user",
"content":"this is a test request, write a short poem"
}
])

print(response)

from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI

from langchain.schema import HumanMessage, SystemMessage

chat = ChatOpenAI(
