# Langchain, OpenAI SDK, LlamaIndex, Instructor, Curl examples

LiteLLM Proxy is **OpenAI-Compatible**, and supports:
* /chat/completions 
* /embeddings
* /completions 
* /image/generations 
* /moderations 
* /audio/transcriptions
* /audio/speech
* [Assistants API endpoints](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/assistants)
* [Batches API endpoints](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/batches)
* [Fine-Tuning API endpoints](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/fine_tuning)

LiteLLM Proxy is **Azure OpenAI-compatible**:
* /chat/completions
* /completions
* /embeddings 

LiteLLM Proxy is **Anthropic-compatible**: 
* /messages 

LiteLLM Proxy is **Vertex AI compatible**:
- [Supports ALL Vertex Endpoints](../vertex_ai)

This doc covers:

*   /chat/completion
*   /embedding


These are **selected examples**. LiteLLM Proxy is **OpenAI-Compatible**, it works with any project that calls OpenAI. Just change the `base_url`, `api_key` and `model`.

To pass provider-specific args, [go here](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/completion/provider_specific_params#proxy-usage)

## Using Tags for Categorization and Tracking

Tags allow you to categorize, filter, and track your LLM requests. Add tags to your metadata for better organization and analytics.

### Tag Benefits

- **Cost Tracking**: Monitor spending by project/team/feature
- **Analytics**: Filter requests by tags in logs and dashboards  
- **Routing**: Use tags for conditional model routing
- **Debugging**: Easier troubleshooting with categorized requests

## Using with OpenAI compatible projects
Set `base_url` to the LiteLLM Proxy server

<Tabs>
<TabItem value="openai" label="OpenAI v1.0.0+">

```python
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", messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "this is a test request, write a short poem"
    }
])

print(response)

```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="librechat" label="LibreChat">

#### Start the LiteLLM proxy
```shell
litellm --model gpt-3.5-turbo

#INFO: Proxy running on http://0.0.0.0:4000
```

#### 1. Clone the repo

```shell
git clone https://github.com/danny-avila/LibreChat.git
```


#### 2. Modify Librechat's `docker-compose.yml`
LiteLLM Proxy is running on port `4000`, set `4000` as the proxy below
```yaml
OPENAI_REVERSE_PROXY=http://host.docker.internal:4000/v1/chat/completions
```

#### 3. Save fake OpenAI key in Librechat's `.env` 

Copy Librechat's `.env.example` to `.env` and overwrite the default OPENAI_API_KEY (by default it requires the user to pass a key).
```env
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-1234
```

#### 4. Run LibreChat: 
```shell
docker compose up
```

Continue-Dev brings ChatGPT to VSCode. See how to [install it here](https://continue.dev/docs/quickstart).

In the [config.py](https://continue.dev/docs/reference/Models/openai) set this as your default model.
```python
  default=OpenAI(
      api_key="IGNORED",
      model="fake-model-name",
      context_length=2048, # customize if needed for your model
      api_base="http://localhost:4000" # your proxy server url

A guidance language for controlling large language models.
https://github.com/guidance-ai/guidance

**NOTE:** Guidance sends additional params like `stop_sequences` which can cause some models to fail if they don't support it. 

**Fix**: Start your proxy using the `--drop_params` flag

```shell
litellm --model ollama/codellama --temperature 0.3 --max_tokens 2048 --drop_params
```

```python
import guidance

# set api_base to your proxy
# set api_key to anything
gpt4 = guidance.llms.OpenAI("gpt-4", api_base="http://0.0.0.0:4000", api_key="anything")

## Using with Vertex, Boto3, Anthropic SDK (Native format)

👉 **[Here's how to use litellm proxy with Vertex, boto3, Anthropic SDK - in the native format](../pass_through/vertex_ai.md)**

## Advanced

### (BETA) Batch Completions - pass multiple models

Use this when you want to send 1 request to N Models

#### Expected Request Format

Pass model as a string of comma separated value of models. Example `"model"="llama3,gpt-3.5-turbo"`

This same request will be sent to the following model groups on the [litellm proxy config.yaml](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/configs)
- `model_name="llama3"`
- `model_name="gpt-3.5-turbo"`
