Caching

:::note

For OpenAI/Anthropic Prompt Caching, go here

:::

Cache LLM Responses. LiteLLM's caching system stores and reuses LLM responses to save costs and reduce latency. When you make the same request twice, the cached response is returned instead of calling the LLM API again.

Supported Caches

• In Memory Cache
• Disk Cache
• Redis Cache
• Qdrant Semantic Cache
• Redis Semantic Cache
• S3 Bucket Cache
• GCS Bucket Cache

Quick Start

Caching can be enabled by adding the cache key in the config.yaml

Step 1: Add cache to the config.yaml

model_list:
  - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo
  - model_name: text-embedding-ada-002
    litellm_params:
      model: text-embedding-ada-002

litellm_settings:
  set_verbose: True
  cache: True # set cache responses to True, litellm defaults to using a redis cache

[OPTIONAL] Step 1.5: Add redis namespaces, default ttl

Namespace

If you want to create some folder for your keys, you can set a namespace, like this:

litellm_settings:
  cache: true
  cache_params: # set cache params for redis
    type: redis
    namespace: "litellm.caching.caching"

and keys will be stored like:

litellm.caching.caching:<hash>

Redis Cluster

model_list:
  - model_name: "*"
    litellm_params:
      model: "*"

litellm_settings:
  cache: True
  cache_params:
    type: redis
    redis_startup_nodes: [{ "host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "7001" }]

You can configure redis cluster in your .env by setting REDIS_CLUSTER_NODES in your .env

Example REDIS_CLUSTER_NODES value

REDIS_CLUSTER_NODES = "[{"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "7001"}, {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "7003"}, {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "7004"}, {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "7005"}, {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "7006"}, {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "7007"}]"

:::note

Example python script for setting redis cluster nodes in .env:

# List of startup nodes
startup_nodes = [
    {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "7001"},
    {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "7003"},
    {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "7004"},
    {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "7005"},
    {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "7006"},
    {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "7007"},
]

# set startup nodes in environment variables
os.environ["REDIS_CLUSTER_NODES"] = json.dumps(startup_nodes)
print("REDIS_CLUSTER_NODES", os.environ["REDIS_CLUSTER_NODES"])

:::

Redis Sentinel

model_list:
  - model_name: "*"
    litellm_params:
      model: "*"

litellm_settings:
  cache: true
  cache_params:
    type: "redis"
    service_name: "mymaster"
    sentinel_nodes: [["localhost", 26379]]
    sentinel_password: "password" # [OPTIONAL]

You can configure redis sentinel in your .env by setting REDIS_SENTINEL_NODES in your .env

Example REDIS_SENTINEL_NODES value

REDIS_SENTINEL_NODES='[["localhost", 26379]]'
REDIS_SERVICE_NAME = "mymaster"
REDIS_SENTINEL_PASSWORD = "password"

:::note

Example python script for setting redis cluster nodes in .env:

# List of startup nodes
sentinel_nodes = [["localhost", 26379]]

# set startup nodes in environment variables
os.environ["REDIS_SENTINEL_NODES"] = json.dumps(sentinel_nodes)
print("REDIS_SENTINEL_NODES", os.environ["REDIS_SENTINEL_NODES"])

:::

TTL

litellm_settings:
  cache: true
  cache_params: # set cache params for redis
    type: redis
    ttl: 600 # will be cached on redis for 600s
    # default_in_memory_ttl: Optional[float], default is None. time in seconds.
    # default_in_redis_ttl: Optional[float], default is None. time in seconds.

SSL

just set REDIS_SSL="True" in your .env, and LiteLLM will pick this up.

REDIS_SSL="True"

For quick testing, you can also use REDIS_URL, eg.:

REDIS_URL="rediss://.."

but we don't recommend using REDIS_URL in prod. We've noticed a performance difference between using it vs. redis_host, port, etc.

GCP IAM Authentication

For GCP Memorystore Redis with IAM authentication, install the required dependency:

:::info IAM authentication for redis is only supported via GCP and only on Redis Clusters for now. :::

pip install google-cloud-iam

For Redis Cluster with GCP IAM:

litellm_settings:
  cache: True
  cache_params:
    type: redis
    redis_startup_nodes:
      [{ "host": "10.128.0.2", "port": 6379 }, { "host": "10.128.0.2", "port": 11008 }]
    gcp_service_account: "projects/-/serviceAccounts/your-sa@project.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
    ssl: true
    ssl_cert_reqs: null
    ssl_check_hostname: false

You can configure GCP IAM Redis authentication in your .env:

For Redis Cluster:

REDIS_CLUSTER_NODES='[{"host": "10.128.0.2", "port": 6379}, {"host": "10.128.0.2", "port": 11008}]'
REDIS_GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT="projects/-/serviceAccounts/your-sa@project.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
REDIS_GCP_SSL_CA_CERTS="./server-ca.pem"
REDIS_SSL="True"
REDIS_SSL_CERT_REQS="None"
REDIS_SSL_CHECK_HOSTNAME="False"

GCP Authentication Setup

Make sure your GCP credentials are configured:

# Option 1: Service account key file
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/service-account-key.json"

# Option 2: If running on GCP compute instance with service account attached
# No additional setup needed

#### Step 2: Add Redis Credentials to .env Set either `REDIS_URL` or the `REDIS_HOST` in your os environment, to enable caching.

REDIS_URL = ""        # REDIS_URL='redis://username:password@hostname:port/database'
## OR ## 
REDIS_HOST = ""       # REDIS_HOST='redis-18841.c274.us-east-1-3.ec2.cloud.redislabs.com'
REDIS_PORT = ""       # REDIS_PORT='18841'
REDIS_PASSWORD = ""   # REDIS_PASSWORD='liteLlmIsAmazing'
REDIS_USERNAME = ""   # REDIS_USERNAME='my-redis-username' [OPTIONAL] if your redis server requires a username
REDIS_SSL = "True"    # REDIS_SSL='True' to enable SSL by default is False

Additional kwargs
:::info Use REDIS_* environment variables to configure all Redis client library parameters. This is the suggested mechanism for toggling Redis settings as it automatically maps environment variables to Redis client kwargs. :::

You can pass in any additional redis.Redis arg, by storing the variable + value in your os environment, like this:

REDIS_<redis-kwarg-name> = ""

For example:

REDIS_SSL = "True"
REDIS_SSL_CERT_REQS = "None" 
REDIS_CONNECTION_POOL_KWARGS = '{"max_connections": 20}'

:::warning Note: For non-string Redis parameters (like integers, booleans, or complex objects), avoid using REDIS_* environment variables as they may fail during Redis client initialization. Instead, use cache_kwargs in your router configuration for such parameters. :::

See how it's read from the environment

Step 3: Run proxy with config

$ litellm --config /path/to/config.yaml

Caching can be enabled by adding the cache key in the config.yaml

Step 1: Add cache to the config.yaml

model_list:
  - model_name: fake-openai-endpoint
    litellm_params:
      model: openai/fake
      api_key: fake-key
      api_base: https://exampleopenaiendpoint-production.up.railway.app/
  - model_name: openai-embedding
    litellm_params:
      model: openai/text-embedding-3-small
      api_key: os.environ/OPENAI_API_KEY

litellm_settings:
  set_verbose: True
  cache: True # set cache responses to True, litellm defaults to using a redis cache
  cache_params:
    type: qdrant-semantic
    qdrant_semantic_cache_embedding_model: openai-embedding # the model should be defined on the model_list
    qdrant_collection_name: test_collection
    qdrant_quantization_config: binary
    qdrant_semantic_cache_vector_size: 1536 # vector size must match embedding model dimensionality
    similarity_threshold: 0.8 # similarity threshold for semantic cache

Step 2: Add Qdrant Credentials to your .env

QDRANT_API_KEY = "16rJUMBRx*************"
QDRANT_API_BASE = "https://5392d382-45*********.cloud.qdrant.io"

Step 3: Run proxy with config

$ litellm --config /path/to/config.yaml

Step 4. Test it

curl -i http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-1234" \
  -d '{
    "model": "fake-openai-endpoint",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}
    ]
  }'

Expect to see x-litellm-semantic-similarity in the response headers when semantic caching is one

Step 1: Add cache to the config.yaml

model_list:
  - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo
  - model_name: text-embedding-ada-002
    litellm_params:
      model: text-embedding-ada-002

litellm_settings:
  set_verbose: True
  cache: True # set cache responses to True
  cache_params: # set cache params for s3
    type: s3
    s3_bucket_name: cache-bucket-litellm # AWS Bucket Name for S3
    s3_region_name: us-west-2 # AWS Region Name for S3
    s3_aws_access_key_id: os.environ/AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID # us os.environ/<variable name> to pass environment variables. This is AWS Access Key ID for S3
    s3_aws_secret_access_key: os.environ/AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY # AWS Secret Access Key for S3
    s3_endpoint_url: https://s3.amazonaws.com # [OPTIONAL] S3 endpoint URL, if you want to use Backblaze/cloudflare s3 buckets

Step 2: Run proxy with config

$ litellm --config /path/to/config.yaml

Step 1: Add cache to the config.yaml

model_list:
  - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo
  - model_name: text-embedding-ada-002
    litellm_params:
      model: text-embedding-ada-002

litellm_settings:
  set_verbose: True
  cache: True # set cache responses to True
  cache_params: # set cache params for gcs
    type: gcs
    gcs_bucket_name: cache-bucket-litellm # GCS Bucket Name for caching
    gcs_path_service_account: os.environ/GCS_PATH_SERVICE_ACCOUNT # use os.environ/<variable name> to pass environment variables. This is the path to your GCS service account JSON file
    gcs_path: cache/ # [OPTIONAL] GCS path prefix for cache objects

Step 2: Add GCS Credentials to .env

Set the GCS environment variables in your .env file:

GCS_BUCKET_NAME="your-gcs-bucket-name"
GCS_PATH_SERVICE_ACCOUNT="/path/to/service-account.json"

Step 3: Run proxy with config

$ litellm --config /path/to/config.yaml

Caching can be enabled by adding the cache key in the config.yaml

Step 1: Add cache to the config.yaml

model_list:
  - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo
  - model_name: azure-embedding-model
    litellm_params:
      model: azure/azure-embedding-model
      api_base: os.environ/AZURE_API_BASE
      api_key: os.environ/AZURE_API_KEY
      api_version: "2023-07-01-preview"

litellm_settings:
  set_verbose: True
  cache: True # set cache responses to True
  cache_params:
    type: "redis-semantic"
    similarity_threshold: 0.8 # similarity threshold for semantic cache
    redis_semantic_cache_embedding_model: azure-embedding-model # set this to a model_name set in model_list

Step 2: Add Redis Credentials to .env

Set either REDIS_URL or the REDIS_HOST in your os environment, to enable caching.

REDIS_URL = ""        # REDIS_URL='redis://username:password@hostname:port/database'
## OR ##
REDIS_HOST = ""       # REDIS_HOST='redis-18841.c274.us-east-1-3.ec2.cloud.redislabs.com'
REDIS_PORT = ""       # REDIS_PORT='18841'
REDIS_PASSWORD = ""   # REDIS_PASSWORD='liteLlmIsAmazing'

Additional kwargs
You can pass in any additional redis.Redis arg, by storing the variable + value in your os environment, like this:

Dynamic Cache Controls

Parameter	Type	Description
ttl	Optional(int)	Will cache the response for the user-defined amount of time (in seconds)
s-maxage	Optional(int)	Will only accept cached responses that are within user-defined range (in seconds)
no-cache	Optional(bool)	Will not store the response in cache.
no-store	Optional(bool)	Will not cache the response
namespace	Optional(str)	Will cache the response under a user-defined namespace

Each cache parameter can be controlled on a per-request basis. Here are examples for each parameter:

ttl

Set how long (in seconds) to cache a response.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000"
)

chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    extra_body={
        "cache": {
            "ttl": 300  # Cache response for 5 minutes
        }
    }
)

    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000"
)

chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    extra_body={
        "cache": {
            "s-maxage": 600  # Only use cache if less than 10 minutes old
        }
    }
)

curl http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

    base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000"
)

chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    extra_body={
        "cache": {
            "no-cache": True  # Skip cache check, get fresh response
        }
    }
)

curl http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-1234" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "cache": {"no-cache": true},
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}
    ]
  }'

no-store

Will not store the response in cache.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000"
)

chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    extra_body={
        "cache": {
            "no-store": True  # Don't cache this response
        }
    }
)

curl http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-1234" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "cache": {"no-store": true},
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}
    ]
  }'

namespace

Store the response under a specific cache namespace.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000"
)

chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    extra_body={
        "cache": {
            "namespace": "my-custom-namespace"  # Store in custom namespace
        }
    }
)

curl http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-1234" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "cache": {"namespace": "my-custom-namespace"},
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}
    ]
  }'

Set cache for proxy, but not on the actual llm api call

Use this if you just want to enable features like rate limiting, and loadbalancing across multiple instances.

Set supported_call_types: [] to disable caching on the actual api call.

litellm_settings:
  cache: True
  cache_params:
    type: redis
    supported_call_types: []

Debugging Caching - /cache/ping

LiteLLM Proxy exposes a /cache/ping endpoint to test if the cache is working as expected

Usage

curl --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/cache/ping'  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-1234"

Expected Response - when cache healthy

{
    "status": "healthy",
    "cache_type": "redis",
    "ping_response": true,
    "set_cache_response": "success",
    "litellm_cache_params": {
        "supported_call_types": "['completion', 'acompletion', 'embedding', 'aembedding', 'atranscription', 'transcription']",
        "type": "redis",
        "namespace": "None"
    },
    "redis_cache_params": {
        "redis_client": "Redis<ConnectionPool<Connection<host=redis-16337.c322.us-east-1-2.ec2.cloud.redislabs.com,port=16337,db=0>>>",
        "redis_kwargs": "{'url': 'redis://:******@redis-16337.c322.us-east-1-2.ec2.cloud.redislabs.com:16337'}",
        "async_redis_conn_pool": "BlockingConnectionPool<Connection<host=redis-16337.c322.us-east-1-2.ec2.cloud.redislabs.com,port=16337,db=0>>",
        "redis_version": "7.2.0"
    }
}

Advanced

Control Call Types Caching is on for - (/chat/completion, /embeddings, etc.)

By default, caching is on for all call types. You can control which call types caching is on for by setting supported_call_types in cache_params

Cache will only be on for the call types specified in supported_call_types

litellm_settings:
  cache: True
  cache_params:
    type: redis
    supported_call_types:
      ["acompletion", "atext_completion", "aembedding", "atranscription"]
      # /chat/completions, /completions, /embeddings, /audio/transcriptions

Set Cache Params on config.yaml

model_list:
  - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo
  - model_name: text-embedding-ada-002
    litellm_params:
      model: text-embedding-ada-002

litellm_settings:
  set_verbose: True
  cache: True # set cache responses to True, litellm defaults to using a redis cache
  cache_params: # cache_params are optional
    type: "redis" # The type of cache to initialize. Can be "local", "redis", "s3", or "gcs". Defaults to "local".
    host: "localhost" # The host address for the Redis cache. Required if type is "redis".
    port: 6379 # The port number for the Redis cache. Required if type is "redis".
    password: "your_password" # The password for the Redis cache. Required if type is "redis".

    # Optional configurations
    supported_call_types:
      ["acompletion", "atext_completion", "aembedding", "atranscription"]
      # /chat/completions, /completions, /embeddings, /audio/transcriptions

Deleting Cache Keys - /cache/delete

In order to delete a cache key, send a request to /cache/delete with the keys you want to delete

Example

curl -X POST "http://0.0.0.0:4000/cache/delete" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-1234" \
  -d '{"keys": ["586bf3f3c1bf5aecb55bd9996494d3bbc69eb58397163add6d49537762a7548d", "key2"]}'

# {"status":"success"}

Viewing Cache Keys from responses

You can view the cache_key in the response headers, on cache hits the cache key is sent as the x-litellm-cache-key response headers

curl -i --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/chat/completions' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{
    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "user": "ishan",
    "messages": [
        {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "what is litellm"
        }
    ],
}'

**Set Caching Default Off - Opt in only **

1. Set mode: default_off for caching

model_list:
  - model_name: fake-openai-endpoint
    litellm_params:
      model: openai/fake
      api_key: fake-key
      api_base: https://exampleopenaiendpoint-production.up.railway.app/

# default off mode
litellm_settings:
  set_verbose: True
  cache: True
  cache_params:
    mode: default_off # 👈 Key change cache is default_off

2. Opting in to cache when cache is default off

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key=<litellm-api-key>, base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000")

chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Say this is a test",
        }
    ],
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    extra_body = {        # OpenAI python accepts extra args in extra_body
        "cache": {"use-cache": True}
    }
)

curl http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-1234" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "cache": {"use-cache": True}
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}
    ]
  }'

Redis max_connections

You can set the max_connections parameter in your cache_params for Redis. This is passed directly to the Redis client and controls the maximum number of simultaneous connections in the pool. If you see errors like No connection available, try increasing this value:

litellm_settings:
  cache: true
  cache_params:
    type: redis
    max_connections: 100

Provider-Specific Optional Parameters Caching

By default, LiteLLM only includes standard OpenAI parameters in cache keys. However, some providers (like Vertex AI) use additional parameters that affect the output but aren't included in the standard cache key generation.

Enable Provider-Specific Parameter Caching

Add this setting to your config.yaml to include provider-specific optional parameters in cache keys:

litellm_settings:
  cache: True
  cache_params:
    type: "redis"
  enable_caching_on_provider_specific_optional_params: True  # Include provider-specific params in cache keys

Advanced - user api key cache ttl

Configure how long the in-memory cache stores the key object (prevents db requests)

general_settings:
  user_api_key_cache_ttl: <your-number> #time in seconds

By default this value is set to 60s.
