* fix(datadog): pass callback_specific_params so DatadogCostManagementLogger receives cost_tag_keys (#29590) * fix(datadog): pass callback_specific_params so DatadogCostManagementLogger receives cost_tag_keys * test(proxy): regression test that load_config forwards callback_specific_params * fix(proxy): guard lakera_prompt_injection callback_specific_params against non-dict Addresses review feedback: forwarding callback_settings as callback_specific_params (so DatadogCostManagementLogger receives cost_tag_keys) exposed the lakera_prompt_injection branch, which did lakeraAI_Moderation(**callback_specific_params ["lakera_prompt_injection"]) with no type guard. A config like `callback_settings: {lakera_prompt_injection: "any-string"}` then hit `**"any-string"` -> TypeError: argument after ** must be a mapping, not str. Guard the lakera branch with isinstance(dict), matching the existing presidio and datadog_cost_management branches (non-dict values fall back to {}). Add a regression test asserting initialize_callbacks_on_proxy ignores a non-dict value instead of crashing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: inject fake lakera_ai module to avoid importing the real one CI fix for the lakera regression test: it stubbed litellm.proxy.proxy_server with a SimpleNamespace and then monkeypatch.setattr'd the real lakera_ai module, which forces importing it — and lakera_ai does `from litellm.proxy.proxy_server import LiteLLM_TeamTable`, absent on the stub -> ImportError under proxy-infra tests. Inject a fake lakera_ai module into sys.modules instead, so the callbacks branch's `from ...lakera_ai import lakeraAI_Moderation` resolves to the stub without loading the real module. The guard under test (isinstance(dict) in the lakera branch) is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(callbacks): guard compression/websearch interceptors against non-dict callback_settings (#30153) #29590 forwards the full callback_settings dict into initialize_callbacks_on_proxy, which activates the compression_interception and websearch_interception consumers. Their initialize_from_proxy_config read the callback_settings subkey without an isinstance(dict) guard, so a non-dict value such as `compression_interception: true` reached from_config_yaml(...).get(...) and aborted proxy startup with AttributeError. #29590 added that guard for lakera_prompt_injection but not for these two Mirror the isinstance(dict) guard already used by the lakera, presidio, and datadog branches so a non-dict value is ignored and the callback initializes with defaults. A parametrized test feeds every callback_settings consumer a non-dict value through initialize_callbacks_on_proxy to catch a future consumer that forgets the guard * fix(callbacks): normalize non-dict callback_specific_params to empty dict A blank callback_settings: key in YAML loads as None, and config.get('callback_settings', {}) returns None because dict.get only falls back to the default when the key is absent. Forwarding that value verbatim to initialize_callbacks_on_proxy made the first '<name>' in callback_specific_params membership test raise TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable, aborting proxy startup. Same failure for any non-dict root such as callback_settings: true. Normalize the value at the function boundary so both callsites (and any future ones) initialize callbacks with their defaults instead of crashing. --------- Co-authored-by: Hedi Daoud <150018939+hdaoud23@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <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).
