# Add Model Add a new LLM to a live LiteLLM proxy. ## Setup Ask for these if not already known: ``` LITELLM_BASE_URL — e.g. https://my-proxy.example.com LITELLM_API_KEY — proxy admin key ``` API reference: https://litellm.vercel.app/docs/proxy/model_management ## Ask the user 1. **Public model name** — what callers will send in `"model": "..."` (e.g. `gpt-4o`, `my-claude`, `llama3`) 2. **Provider** — pick from the table below 3. **Credentials** — whatever that provider needs ## Provider table | Provider | `litellm_params.model` | Extra params | |---|---|---| | OpenAI | `openai/gpt-4o` | `api_key` | | Azure OpenAI | `azure/<deployment-name>` | `api_key`, `api_base`, `api_version` | | Anthropic | `anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022` | `api_key` | | AWS Bedrock | `bedrock/anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0` | AWS creds via env | | Google Vertex | `vertex_ai/gemini-1.5-pro` | `vertex_project`, `vertex_location` | | Ollama | `ollama/llama3` | `api_base` (e.g. `http://localhost:11434`) | | Groq | `groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile` | `api_key` | | Together AI | `together_ai/meta-llama/Llama-3-70b` | `api_key` | | Mistral | `mistral/mistral-large-latest` | `api_key` | Full list: https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers ## Run ```bash curl -s -X POST "$BASE/model/new" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "model_name": "<public-name>", "litellm_params": { "model": "<provider/deployment>", "api_key": "<key>", "api_base": "<base_if_needed>", "api_version": "<version_if_azure>" } }' ``` ## Test it After adding, verify it routes: ```bash curl -s -X POST "$BASE/chat/completions" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "model": "<public-name>", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "say hi"}], "max_tokens": 10 }' ``` ## Output Show `model_id` from the response — needed to update or delete the model later. Report pass/fail from the test call.
