About
LiteLLM provides a standardized wrapper for calling LLM APIs from Python, allowing developers to switch between providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and local llamafile servers without altering code structure. It automates complex tasks such as mapping provider-specific errors to OpenAI exception types, implementing robust retry and fallback logic, and tracking usage costs. Whether you are building production-grade applications requiring high availability or testing against local models for privacy, this skill ensures consistent behavior and simplified maintenance across the entire LLM ecosystem.
