LLM API Load-Balancing

Use this if you're trying to load-balance across multiple Azure/OpenAI deployments.

Router prevents failed requests, by picking the deployment which is below rate-limit and has the least amount of tokens used.

In production, Router connects to a Redis Cache to track usage across multiple deployments.

Quick Start​

pip install litellm
from litellm import Router

model_list = [{ # list of model deployments
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo", # openai model name
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "azure/chatgpt-v-2",
"api_key": os.getenv("AZURE_API_KEY"),
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE")
},
"tpm": 240000,
"rpm": 1800
}, {
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo", # openai model name
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "azure/chatgpt-functioncalling",
"api_key": os.getenv("AZURE_API_KEY"),
"api_version": os.getenv("AZURE_API_VERSION"),
"api_base": os.getenv("AZURE_API_BASE")
},
"tpm": 240000,
"rpm": 1800
}, {
"model_name": "gpt-3.5-turbo", # openai model name
"litellm_params": { # params for litellm completion/embedding call
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"api_key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
},
"tpm": 1000000,
"rpm": 9000
}]

router = Router(model_list=model_list)

# openai.ChatCompletion.create replacement
response = router.completion(model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going?"}]

print(response)

Redis Queue​

router = Router(model_list=model_list, 
redis_host=os.getenv("REDIS_HOST"),
redis_password=os.getenv("REDIS_PASSWORD"),
redis_port=os.getenv("REDIS_PORT"))

print(response)
