Model Management

Add new models + Get model info without restarting proxy.

In Config.yaml​

model_list:
  - model_name: text-davinci-003
    litellm_params: 
      model: "text-completion-openai/text-davinci-003"
    model_info: 
      metadata: "here's additional metadata on the model" # returned via GET /model/info

Get Model Information - /model/info​

Retrieve detailed information about each model listed in the /model/info endpoint, including descriptions from the config.yaml file, and additional model info (e.g. max tokens, cost per input token, etc.) pulled from the model_info you set and the litellm model cost map. Sensitive details like API keys are excluded for security purposes.

curl -X GET "http://0.0.0.0:4000/model/info" \
     -H "accept: application/json" \

Add a New Model​

Add a new model to the proxy via the /model/new API, to add models without restarting the proxy.

curl -X POST "http://0.0.0.0:4000/model/new" \
    -H "accept: application/json" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{ "model_name": "azure-gpt-turbo", "litellm_params": {"model": "azure/gpt-3.5-turbo", "api_key": "os.environ/AZURE_API_KEY", "api_base": "my-azure-api-base"} }'

Model Parameters Structure​

When adding a new model, your JSON payload should conform to the following structure:

  • model_name: The name of the new model (required).
  • litellm_params: A dictionary containing parameters specific to the Litellm setup (required).
  • model_info: An optional dictionary to provide additional information about the model.

Here's an example of how to structure your ModelParams:

{
  "model_name": "my_awesome_model",
  "litellm_params": {
    "some_parameter": "some_value",
    "another_parameter": "another_value"
  },
  "model_info": {
    "author": "Your Name",
    "version": "1.0",
    "description": "A brief description of the model."
  }
}

Keep in mind that as both endpoints are in [BETA], you may need to visit the associated GitHub issues linked in the API descriptions to check for updates or provide feedback:

Feedback on the beta endpoints is valuable and helps improve the API for all users.

Add Additional Model Information​

If you want the ability to add a display name, description, and labels for models, just use model_info: 

model_list:
  - model_name: "gpt-4"
    litellm_params:
      model: "gpt-4"
      api_key: "os.environ/OPENAI_API_KEY"
    model_info: # 👈 KEY CHANGE
      my_custom_key: "my_custom_value"

Usage​

  1. Add additional information to model 
model_list:
  - model_name: "gpt-4"
    litellm_params:
      model: "gpt-4"
      api_key: "os.environ/OPENAI_API_KEY"
    model_info: # 👈 KEY CHANGE
      my_custom_key: "my_custom_value"
  1. Call with /model/info

Use a key with access to the model gpt-4.

curl -L -X GET 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/model/info' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer LITELLM_KEY' \
  1. Expected Response

Returned model_info = Your custom model_info + (if exists) LITELLM MODEL INFO
