# 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.
