Configure LiteLLM Proxy Models in Freeplay

Set up LiteLLM Proxy as a custom provider to access multiple models through a unified interface.

• Model Flexibility: Easily switch between different LLM providers while using only OpenAI code for all model interactions.
• Unified Interface: Use a consistent API format regardless of the underlying model
• Simplified Management: Access numerous models through a single integration
• Custom Models: Reference custom-deployed LLMs with the same workflow

Setting Up LiteLLM Proxy in Freeplay

Step 1: Set up LiteLLM Proxy & Add Models

In this example we will use gpt-3.5-turbo and claude-3-5-sonnet via Anthropic. To get set up with LiteLLM you can see the full docs here. To start, ensure you have a model config file like the one below:

yaml

model_list:
- model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo  # Use this exact name in Freeplay
  litellm_params:
    model: openai/gpt-3.5-turbo
    api_key: os.environ/OPENAI_API_KEY
- model_name: claude-3-5-sonnet  # Use this exact name in Freeplay
  litellm_params:
    model: anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20240219
api_key: os.environ/ANTH_API_KEY

Important: When configuring models, the name in Freeplay must match the model_name in your LiteLLM Proxy configuration file.

Step 2: Configure LiteLLM Proxy as a Custom Provider

1. Navigate to Settings in your Freeplay account
2. Find “Custom Providers” section
3. Enable “LiteLLM Proxy” provider

Step 3: Add an API Key

1. Click “Add API Key”
2. Name your API key
3. Enter your LiteLLM Proxy Master key
4. Optionally, mark it as the default key for LiteLLM Proxy

Step 4: Add Your LiteLLM Proxy Models

1. Select “Add a New Model”
2. Optionally select if the model supports tool use
3. Optionally add a display name for the model
4. Enter link to your LiteLLM API Proxy

Note: Token pricing information is automatically fetched from LiteLLM Proxy so you do not need to provide it.

Step 5: Using LiteLLM Proxy Models in the Prompt Editor

1. Open the prompt editor in Freeplay
2. In the model selection field, search for “LiteLLM Proxy”
3. Select one of your configured models

Integrating LiteLLM Proxy with Your Code

The following example shows how to configure and use LiteLLM Proxy with Freeplay in your application. The benefit of using LiteLLM Proxy is you only need to configure your calls to work with OpenAI, LiteLLM Proxy will handle all the formatting:

python

#######################
## Configure Clients ##
#######################
# Configure the Freeplay Client
fp_client = Freeplay(
  freeplay_api_key=API_KEY,
  api_base=f"{API_URL}"
)

# Call OpenAI using the LiteLLM url and api_key.
# This handles the routing to your models while keeping the response
# in a standard format.

client = OpenAI(
  api_key=userdata.get("LITE_LLM_MASTER_KEY"),
  base_url=userdata.get("LITE_LLM_BASE_URL")
)

#####################

## Call and Record

#####################

# Get the prompt from Freeplay

formatted_prompt = fp_client.prompts.get_formatted(
  project_id=PROJECT_ID,
  template_name=prompt_name,
  environment=env,
  variables=prompt_vars,
  history=history
)

# Call the LLM with the fetched prompt and details

start = time.time()
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
  messages=formatted_prompt.llm_prompt,
  model=formatted_prompt.prompt_info.model,
  tools=formatted_prompt.tool_schema,
  **formatted_prompt.prompt_info.model_parameters
)

# Extract data from LiteLLM response

completion_message = completion.choices[0].message
tool_calls = completion_message.tool_calls
text_content = completion_message.content
finish_reason = completion.choices[0].finish_reason
end = time.time()

print("LLM response: ", completion)

# Record to Freeplay

## First, store the message data in a Freeplay format

updated_messages = formatted_prompt.all_messages(completion_message)

## Now, record the data directly to Freeplay

completion_log = fp_client.recordings.create(
  RecordPayload(
      project_id=PROJECT_ID,
      all_messages=updated_messages,
      inputs=prompt_vars,
      session_version_info=session,
      trace_info=trace,
      prompt_info=formatted_prompt.prompt_info, # Note: you must pass UsageTokens for the cost calculation to function
      call_info=
      CallInfo.from_prompt_info(formatted_prompt.prompt_info, start, end,
      UsageTokens(completion.usage.prompt_tokens, completion.usage.completion_tokens))
  )
)

Current Limitations

• Automatic Cost Calculation: UsageTokens must be passed for cost calculations to work with LiteLLM Proxy. Also, for self hosted models that depend on time, cost calculation is not currently supported.
• Auto-Evaluation Compatibility: Model-graded evals that are configured and run by Freeplay do not currently support LiteLLM Proxy models.
