LiteLLM AI Gateway

Open Source AI Gateway for 100+ LLMs. Self-hosted. Enterprise-ready. Call any LLM in OpenAI format.

LiteLLM Proxy Server (AI Gateway) | Hosted Proxy | Enterprise Tier | Website

LiteLLM AI Gateway

What is LiteLLM

LiteLLM is an open source AI Gateway that gives you a single, unified interface to call 100+ LLM providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Azure, and more — using the OpenAI format.

Use it as a Python SDK for direct library integration, or deploy the AI Gateway (Proxy Server) as a centralized service for your team or organization.

Jump to LiteLLM Proxy (LLM Gateway) Docs

Jump to Supported LLM Providers

Why LiteLLM

Managing LLM calls across providers gets complicated fast — different SDKs, auth patterns, request formats, and error types for every model. LiteLLM removes that friction:

Unified API — one interface for 100+ LLMs, no provider-specific SDK juggling
Drop-in OpenAI compatibility — swap providers without rewriting your code
Production-ready gateway — virtual keys, spend tracking, guardrails, load balancing, and an admin dashboard out of the box
8ms P95 latency at 1k RPS (benchmarks)

Features

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

uv add 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

uv tool 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!"}]
)

Docs: LLM Providers

Agents - Invoke A2A Agents (Python SDK + AI Gateway)

Supported Providers - LangGraph, Vertex AI Agent Engine, Azure AI Foundry, Bedrock AgentCore, Pydantic AI

Python SDK - A2A Protocol

from litellm.a2a_protocol import A2AClient
from a2a.types import SendMessageRequest, MessageSendParams
from uuid import uuid4

client = A2AClient(base_url="http://localhost:10001")

request = SendMessageRequest(
    id=str(uuid4()),
    params=MessageSendParams(
        message={
            "role": "user",
            "parts": [{"kind": "text", "text": "Hello!"}],
            "messageId": uuid4().hex,
        }
    )
)
response = await client.send_message(request)

AI Gateway (Proxy Server)

Step 1. Add your Agent to the AI Gateway — set protocolVersion to 1.0 or 0.3 per agent

Step 2. Call Agent via A2A SDK (requires a2a-sdk>=1.1.0)

import httpx
from a2a.client import A2ACardResolver, ClientConfig, ClientFactory
from a2a.types import Message, Part, Role, SendMessageRequest
from a2a.utils.constants import TransportProtocol
from uuid import uuid4

base_url = "http://localhost:4000/a2a/my-agent"  # LiteLLM proxy + agent name
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer sk-1234"}    # LiteLLM Virtual Key

async with httpx.AsyncClient(headers=headers, timeout=60.0) as http_client:
    resolver = A2ACardResolver(httpx_client=http_client, base_url=base_url)
    agent_card = await resolver.get_agent_card()
    config = ClientConfig(
        httpx_client=http_client,
        streaming=False,
        supported_protocol_bindings=[TransportProtocol.JSONRPC, TransportProtocol.HTTP_JSON],
    )
    client = ClientFactory(config).create(agent_card)

    request = SendMessageRequest(
        message=Message(
            message_id=uuid4().hex,
            role=Role.ROLE_USER,
            parts=[Part(text="Hello!")],
        )
    )
    async for event in client.send_message(request):
        populated = event.ListFields()
        if populated and populated[0][0].name in ("message", "msg"):
            print("".join(getattr(p, "text", "") or "" for p in populated[0][1].parts))

from mcp.client.stdio import stdio_client
from litellm import experimental_mcp_client
import litellm

server_params = StdioServerParameters(command="python", args=["mcp_server.py"])

async with stdio_client(server_params) as (read, write):
    async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
        await session.initialize()

        # Load MCP tools in OpenAI format
        tools = await experimental_mcp_client.load_mcp_tools(session=session, format="openai")

        # Use with any LiteLLM model
        response = await litellm.acompletion(
            model="gpt-4o",
            messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What's 3 + 5?"}],
            tools=tools
        )

AI Gateway - MCP Gateway

Step 1. Add your MCP Server to the AI Gateway

Step 2. Call MCP tools via /chat/completions

curl -X POST 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/chat/completions' 
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' 
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize the latest open PR"}],
    "tools": [{
      "type": "mcp",
      "server_url": "litellm_proxy/mcp/github",
      "server_label": "github_mcp",
      "require_approval": "never"
    }]
  }'

Get Started

You can use LiteLLM through either the Proxy Server or Python SDK. Both give 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.)

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.

Deploy on AWS or GCP with Terraform

Run the LiteLLM proxy as a production-ready componentized stack (gateway, backend, UI on separate services; managed Postgres + Redis + object store) using the published Terraform modules. Both modules are on the public Terraform Registry — no auth needed.

AWS — ECS Fargate + Aurora + ElastiCache + ALB

![Launch in AWS CloudShell](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudshell/home) — opens an in-browser shell, already authenticated to your AWS account. Once inside, run:

git clone https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm.git
cd litellm/terraform/litellm/aws/examples/default
cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars   # edit region/tenant/env
terraform init && terraform apply

Module page →

Or call the module from your own root config:

# main.tf
terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.6.0"
  required_providers {
    aws = { source = "hashicorp/aws", version = "~> 5.60" }
  }
}

provider "aws" {
  region = "us-west-2"
}

module "litellm" {
  source  = "BerriAI/litellm/aws"
  version = "~> 1.89"

  region = "us-west-2"
  azs    = ["us-west-2a", "us-west-2b"]
  tenant = "acme"
  env    = "prod"

  # Production: provide an ACM cert. Without one, set allow_plaintext_alb = true
  # (dev/trial only).
  # acm_certificate_arn = "arn:aws:acm:us-west-2:111122223333:certificate/..."
  allow_plaintext_alb = true
}

output "litellm_url" {
  value = module.litellm.alb_dns_name
}

terraform init
terraform apply

Provider API keys live in AWS Secrets Manager; reference ARNs via gateway_extra_secrets. Full input list and architecture diagram on the registry page.

GCP — Cloud Run + Cloud SQL + Memorystore + HTTPS LB

![Open in Cloud Shell](https://ssh.cloud.google.com/cloudshell/editor?cloudshell_git_repo=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FBerriAI%2Flitellm&cloudshell_workspace=terraform%2Flitellm%2Fgcp%2Fexamples%2Fdefault&cloudshell_tutorial=TUTORIAL.md&cloudshell_image=gcr.io/ds-artifacts-cloudshell/deploystack_custom_image&shellonly=true)

Real 1-click. Opens Cloud Shell, clones this repo, and walks you through terraform apply via a built-in DeployStack tutorial — pick the project, the tutorial sets up the Artifact Registry remote repo, writes terraform.tfvars from your answers, and runs apply.

Module page →

To call the module from your own config instead, Cloud Run can't pull from ghcr.io directly, so first set up a one-time Artifact Registry remote repo backed by GHCR:

gcloud artifacts repositories create litellm 
  --location=us-central1 
  --repository-format=docker 
  --mode=remote-repository 
  --remote-docker-repo=https://ghcr.io 
  --project=my-gcp-project

Then:

# main.tf
terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.6.0"
  required_providers {
    google      = { source = "hashicorp/google",      version = "~> 6.10" }
    google-beta = { source = "hashicorp/google-beta", version = "~> 6.10" }
  }
}

provider "google"      { project = "my-gcp-project"; region = "us-central1" }
provider "google-beta" { project = "my-gcp-project"; region = "us-central1" }

module "litellm" {
  source  = "BerriAI/litellm/google"
  version = "~> 1.89"

  project_id = "my-gcp-project"
  region     = "us-central1"
  tenant     = "acme"
  env        = "prod"

  # Replace my-gcp-project with your GCP project ID (same value as project_id above).
  image_registry = "us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/my-gcp-project/litellm/berriai"

  # Production: provide DNS already pointing at the LB IP for Google-managed certs.
  # Without one, set allow_plaintext_lb = true (dev/trial only).
  # lb_domains         = ["proxy.example.com"]
  allow_plaintext_lb = true
}

output "litellm_url" {
  value = module.litellm.load_balancer_url
}

terraform init
terraform apply

Provider API keys live in Secret Manager; reference resource IDs (e.g. projects/my-gcp-project/secrets/openai-api-key) via gateway_extra_secrets. Full input list and architecture diagram on the registry page.

Both stacks include

The full componentized split (gateway / backend / UI as independent services)
Managed Postgres (writer + reader) and Redis
Versioned object store for proxy state + file uploads
An auto-generated LITELLM_MASTER_KEY in your cloud's secret manager
A one-off migration job that runs prisma migrate deploy before the proxy starts
The same proxy_config surface as the Helm chart — pass YAML as a typed map

The Terraform modules live at <code class="ra0-md-code">terraform/litellm/aws/</code> and <code class="ra0-md-code">terraform/litellm/gcp/</code> in this repo; the registry entries are read-only mirrors updated on each release.

Run in Developer Mode

Services

Setup .env file in root
Run dependent services docker-compose up db prometheus

Backend

Run make bootstrap
Start proxy backend: uv run python litellm/proxy/proxy_cli.py

Frontend

Navigate to ui/litellm-dashboard (dependencies were already installed w/ make bootstrap)
Start dashboard: npm run dev

Verify Docker Image Signatures

All LiteLLM Docker images published to GHCR are signed with cosign. Every release is signed with the same key introduced in commit <code class="ra0-md-code">0112e53</code>.

Verify using the pinned commit hash (recommended):

A commit hash is cryptographically immutable, so this is the strongest way to ensure you are using the original signing key:

cosign verify 
  --key https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BerriAI/litellm/0112e53046018d726492c814b3644b7d376029d0/cosign.pub 
  ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:<release-tag>

Verify using a release tag (convenience):

Tags are protected in this repository and resolve to the same key. This option is easier to read but relies on tag protection rules:

cosign verify 
  --key https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BerriAI/litellm/<release-tag>/cosign.pub 
  ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:<release-tag>

Replace ` with the version you are deploying (e.g. v1.83.0-stable`).
