Review liteLLM?
Reviewers mostly describe liteLLM as a practical abstraction layer for teams using several model providers. The clearest user feedback highlights it as an LLM proxy with caching, load balancing, local model support through Ollama, and an OpenAI-compatible API that works across many apps when the base URL is configurable. Founders from Budibase, SellerClaw, and ARBR echo that it reduces integration work, speeds switching and fallback between providers, and helps avoid vendor lock-in.

Used as an LLM proxy, it allows the caching and load balancing between multiple AI services (Groq, OpenRouter, etc.) and even local with Ollama.
It uses an OpenAI-compatible API that allows (when we can set the base URL) to use it in many apps or services.
I use it configured with Langfuse which provides the performance analysis (monitoring) of each prompt/session.

liteLLM is a must for working with different models. We use different models for different tasks and subtasks. With liteLLM the code stays exactly the same and we can just focus on choosing the right prompts and models for the task.
We chose LiteLLM for its unified interface across model providers and open-source flexibility. It reduces the need to maintain separate provider integrations, letting us focus on ARBR’s evaluation, governance, and human-approved model changes. Its OpenAI-compatible interface also makes it a practical fit for teams that want to add ARBR without replacing their existing gateway.
