# LiteLLM

> Using LiteLLM proxy for unified LLM access with Upsonic

## Overview

LiteLLM provides a unified OpenAI-compatible interface to access 100+ LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, Google, AWS Bedrock, and more. Run it as a proxy server for centralized model management.

**Model Class:** `OpenAIChatModel` (OpenAI-compatible proxy)

## Authentication

```bash theme={null}
export LITELLM_BASE_URL="..." # Required
# Optional: API key if proxy requires authentication
export LITELLM_API_KEY="sk-..."
```

## Examples

```python theme={null}
from upsonic import Agent, Task
from upsonic.models.litellm import LiteLLMModel

model = LiteLLMModel(model_name="gpt-4o")
agent = Agent(model=model)

task = Task("Hello, how are you?")
result = agent.do(task)
print(result)
```

## Model Settings

You can set model parameters in two ways: on the model or on the Agent.

**On the model:**

```python theme={null}
from upsonic import Agent, Task
from upsonic.models.litellm import LiteLLMModel, LiteLLMModelSettings

model = LiteLLMModel(
    model_name="gpt-4o",
    settings=LiteLLMModelSettings(max_tokens=1024, temperature=0.7)
)
agent = Agent(model=model)
```

**On the Agent:**

```python theme={null}
from upsonic import Agent, Task
from upsonic.models.litellm import LiteLLMModelSettings

agent = Agent(
    model="litellm/gpt-4o",
    settings=LiteLLMModelSettings(max_tokens=1024, temperature=0.7)
)
```
