LiteLLM

About

LiteLLM is an open-source Python library that provides a unified API for interacting with multiple large language model providers. It allows developers to switch between different models with minimal code changes, optimizing cost and performance. LiteLLM simplifies integration by offering a single interface for various LLM endpoints, enabling seamless experimentation and deployment across different AI providers.

If you use this library, you can also call models from Apilaplas API through it. Below are the most common use cases:

• Chat completion

• Streaming

• Chat completion (asynchronous)

• Streaming (asynchronous)

• Embedding (asynchronous)

• Image Generation (asynchronous)

Installation

Install the library with the standard pip tool in terminal:

pip install litellm

Making API Calls

You can choose from LLama, Qwen, Flux, and 200+ other models on the Apilaplas API official website.

Chat completion

import litellm

response = litellm.completion(
    # The model name must include prefix "openai/" + the model id from Apilaplas API:
    model="openai/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct-Turbo", 
    # your Apilaplas API api-key: 
    api_key="<YOUR_LAPLASAPI_KEY>", 
    api_base="https://api.apilaplas.com/v2",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Hey, how's it going?",
        }
    ],
)

Streaming

import litellm

response = litellm.completion(
    # The model name must include prefix "openai/" + the model id from Apilaplas API:
    model="openai/Qwen/Qwen2-72B-Instruct",  
    # your Apilaplas API api-key 
    api_key="<YOUR_LAPLASAPI_KEY>",  
    api_base="https://api.apilaplas.com/v2",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Hey, how's it going?",
        }
    ],
    stream=True,
)
for chunk in response:
    print(chunk)

Async Completion

        )
        print(f"response: {response}")
        async for chunk in response:
