Quick Start

Usage - litellm.completion (calling OpenAI compatible endpoint)​

llamafile Provides an OpenAI compatible endpoint for chat completions - here's how to call it with LiteLLM

To use litellm to call llamafile add the following to your completion call

  • model="llamafile/<your-llamafile-model-name>"
  • api_base = "your-hosted-llamafile"
import litellm 

response = litellm.completion(
model="llamafile/mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2", # pass the llamafile model name for completeness
messages=messages,
api_base="http://localhost:8080/v1",
temperature=0.2,
max_tokens=80)

print(response)

Usage - LiteLLM Proxy Server (calling OpenAI compatible endpoint)​

Here's how to call an OpenAI-Compatible Endpoint with the LiteLLM Proxy Server

  1. Modify the config.yaml

    model_list:
    - model_name: my-model
    litellm_params:
    model: llamafile/mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2 # add llamafile/ prefix to route as OpenAI provider
    api_base: http://localhost:8080/v1 # add api base for OpenAI compatible provider
  2. Start the proxy

    $ litellm --config /path/to/config.yaml
  3. Send Request to LiteLLM Proxy Server

    import openai
    client = openai.OpenAI(
    api_key="sk-1234", # pass litellm proxy key, if you're using virtual keys
    base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000" # litellm-proxy-base url
    )

    response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="my-model",
    messages = [
    {
    "role": "user",
    "content": "what llm are you"
    }
    ],
    )

    print(response)

from litellm import embedding   
import os

os.environ["LLAMAFILE_API_BASE"] = "http://localhost:8080/v1"


embedding = embedding(model="llamafile/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2", input=["Hello world"])

print(embedding)
