* test(google): add google-genai SDK proxy integration tests for Gemini and Vertex Pin google-genai in the CI dependency group and exercise streaming/non-streaming generate_content through the LiteLLM proxy in the existing unified_google_tests suite. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * fix(test): address Greptile review for google-genai proxy SDK tests Restore GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS after the module proxy fixture tears down, initialize temp-file tracking on the proxy SDK base class, and skip litellm reload for proxy_genai_sdk tests so the module-scoped proxy server stays consistent. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * fix(test): only load Vertex credentials when keys exist for proxy SDK tests Avoid writing empty GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS temp files so Vertex tests skip cleanly without credentials, use a session-scoped proxy fixture, and clean up per-test credential temp files. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * chore(test): scope google-genai pin to unified_google_tests only Remove google-genai from the ci dependency group and pin it in tests/unified_google_tests/requirements.txt for local test installs. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * test(google): tie litellm reload skip to proxy fixture dependency Replace the name-based reload guard with a check on whether the test requests the google_genai_proxy_url fixture, so the skip stays correct if the proxy SDK tests are renamed. * fix(test): stop DatabaseURLSettings tests leaking DATABASE_URL into os.environ The autouse env scrubber relied on monkeypatch.delenv, but apply_to_env writes DATABASE_URL straight into os.environ, which monkeypatch never tracks and therefore never undoes. The synthesized writer.example.com URL leaked past the last test in this module and into proxy-infra tests that read DATABASE_URL to decide whether to hit a real database, e.g. test_deprecated_key_grace_period_cache_hit_path, turning an intended skip into a ConnectError. Snapshot and restore the managed vars directly so the original environment is reinstated regardless of how it was mutated. * test(google): drop redundant per-test vertex credential setup The session-scoped google_genai_proxy_url fixture already configures GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS before the proxy starts, and _require_proxy_sdk skips when credentials are missing, so the per-test _setup_vertex_credentials_if_needed helper and its temp-file tracking never did any work. Remove it to keep the ABC self-contained. * test(google): declare model_config contract on proxy SDK ABC _skip_reason_if_credentials_missing reads self.model_config to pick the provider, but that property was only declared on the sibling BaseGoogleGenAITest. Make the dependency explicit by adding model_config as an abstract property on BaseGoogleGenAIProxySDKTest so the ABC is self-contained and a standalone subclass fails fast instead of hitting an AttributeError. * test(google): narrow streaming error catch to Exception Catching BaseException in the streaming assertion swallowed KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit, turning a Ctrl-C into a test failure message instead of letting pytest interrupt cleanly. Only genuine runtime errors should be recorded as stream failures, so catch Exception. * test(google): initialize proxy on the same loop that serves it The proxy was initialized via asyncio.run() on the main thread, which creates and tears down a throwaway event loop, while requests were served on a separate loop in the worker thread. Any asyncio primitive bound to the init loop would be unusable once serving started. Run initialize() on the worker thread's loop right before server.serve() so setup and request handling share a single event loop. * test(google): drop redundant google-genai requirements pin google-genai>=1.37.0,<2.0 is already declared in the proxy-runtime extra, which the google_generate_content_endpoint_testing CI job installs via uv sync --all-extras. The standalone tests/unified_google_tests/requirements.txt duplicated that pin with a narrower ==1.37.0 specifier and was never installed by CI, so it added a second source of truth without changing what gets installed. Drop it and rely on the proxy-runtime extra. * chore: revert incidental uv.lock exclude-newer bump The google-genai ci pin was added and then dropped (it is already provided by the proxy-runtime group), but each uv lock recomputed the relative exclude-newer span, leaving only a timestamp bump in uv.lock. Restore it to the base value so this test-only PR carries no lockfile change. --------- Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> Co-authored-by: mateo-berri <277851410+mateo-berri@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
🚅 LiteLLM
LiteLLM AI Gateway
Open Source AI Gateway for 100+ LLMs. Self-hosted. Enterprise-ready. Call any LLM in OpenAI format.
LiteLLM Proxy Server (AI Gateway) | Hosted Proxy | Enterprise Tier | Website
What is LiteLLM
LiteLLM is an open source AI Gateway that gives you a single, unified interface to call 100+ LLM providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Azure, and more — using the OpenAI format.
Use it as a Python SDK for direct library integration, or deploy the AI Gateway (Proxy Server) as a centralized service for your team or organization.

Why LiteLLM
Managing LLM calls across providers gets complicated fast — different SDKs, auth patterns, request formats, and error types for every model. LiteLLM removes that friction:
- Unified API — one interface for 100+ LLMs, no provider-specific SDK juggling
- Drop-in OpenAI compatibility — swap providers without rewriting your code
- Production-ready gateway — virtual keys, spend tracking, guardrails, load balancing, and an admin dashboard out of the box
- 8ms P95 latency at 1k RPS (benchmarks)

Supported Providers (Website Supported Models | Docs)
Get Started
You can use LiteLLM through either the Proxy Server or Python SDK. Both give you a unified interface to access multiple LLMs (100+ LLMs). Choose the option that best fits your needs:
| LiteLLM AI Gateway | LiteLLM Python SDK | |
|---|---|---|
| Use Case | Central service (LLM Gateway) to access multiple LLMs | Use LiteLLM directly in your Python code |
| Who Uses It? | Gen AI Enablement / ML Platform Teams | Developers building LLM projects |
| Key Features | Centralized API gateway with authentication and authorization, multi-tenant cost tracking and spend management per project/user, per-project customization (logging, guardrails, caching), virtual keys for secure access control, admin dashboard UI for monitoring and management | Direct Python library integration in your codebase, Router with retry/fallback logic across multiple deployments (e.g. Azure/OpenAI) - Router, application-level load balancing and cost tracking, exception handling with OpenAI-compatible errors, observability callbacks (Lunary, MLflow, Langfuse, etc.) |
Stable Release: Use docker images with the -stable tag. These have undergone 12 hour load tests, before being published. More information about the release cycle here

Verify Docker Image Signatures
All LiteLLM Docker images published to GHCR are signed with cosign. Every release is signed with the same key introduced in commit 0112e53.
Verify using the pinned commit hash (recommended):
A commit hash is cryptographically immutable, so this is the strongest way to ensure you are using the original signing key:
cosign verify \
--key https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BerriAI/litellm/0112e53046018d726492c814b3644b7d376029d0/cosign.pub \
ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:<release-tag>
Verify using a release tag (convenience):
Tags are protected in this repository and resolve to the same key. This option is easier to read but relies on tag protection rules:
cosign verify \
--key https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BerriAI/litellm/<release-tag>/cosign.pub \
ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:<release-tag>
Replace <release-tag> with the version you are deploying (e.g. v1.83.0-stable).
