About
The vendor describes LiteLLM as an AI Gateway for platform teams. It allows users to put their full AI stack behind one key. The platform enables users to see who is driving spend, cap it before it runs, and send each request to the appropriate model. LiteLLM supports self-hosting and air-gapped environments. The page states that LiteLLM provides access to over 140 providers and 1,800 models through one OpenAI-compatible API, allowing model swaps without changing application code. It offers day-zero support for new models and can reach agents and MCP servers, not just LLMs. Users can also bring their own internal, fine-tuned, and self-hosted models behind the same key. The platform includes one login with SSO, scoped by team, project, or app, and handles key management, working with existing secret managers.
