Overview
LiteLLM provides an open-source LLM gateway and Python SDK that connects to 100+ LLM APIs and standardizes responses in an OpenAI-compatible format, acting as a translator across AI schemas to reduce vendor lock-in. Built on Python and FastAPI, it offers routing features like load balancing, automatic fallbacks, and regional prioritization, plus a centralized dashboard for cost and token usage. The platform emphasizes enterprise control with observability integrations (Prometheus, Langfuse, Sentry) and an open-core model where advanced features such as SSO, RBAC, and team budgets are available in a paid Enterprise Edition. Its target customers are large organizations and fast-growing companies in regulated industries needing data residency and strict operational governance.
