Batching Completion()

LiteLLM allows you to:

• Send many completion calls to 1 model
• Send 1 completion call to many models: Return Fastest Response
• Send 1 completion call to many models: Return All Responses

Trying to do batch completion on LiteLLM Proxy ? Go here: https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/user_keys#beta-batch-completions---pass-model-as-list

Send multiple completion calls to 1 model

In the batch_completion method, you provide a list of messages where each sub-list of messages is passed to litellm.completion(), allowing you to process multiple prompts efficiently in a single API call.

Example Code

import litellm
import os
from litellm import batch_completion

os.environ['ANTHROPIC_API_KEY'] = ""


responses = batch_completion(
    model="claude-2",
    messages = [
        [
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "good morning? "
            }
        ],
        [
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "what's the time? "
            }
        ]
    ]
)

Send 1 completion call to many models: Return Fastest Response

This makes parallel calls to the specified models and returns the first response

Use this to reduce latency

Example Code

import litellm
import os
from litellm import batch_completion_models

os.environ['ANTHROPIC_API_KEY'] = ""
os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = ""
os.environ['COHERE_API_KEY'] = ""

response = batch_completion_models(
    models=["gpt-3.5-turbo", "claude-instant-1.2", "command-nightly"], 
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going"}]
)
print(result)

Output

Returns the first response

Send 1 completion call to many models: Return All Responses

This makes parallel calls to the specified models and returns all responses

Use this to process requests concurrently and get responses from multiple models.

Example Code

import litellm
import os
from litellm import batch_completion_models_all_responses

os.environ['ANTHROPIC_API_KEY'] = ""
os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = ""
os.environ['COHERE_API_KEY'] = ""

responses = batch_completion_models_all_responses(
    models=["gpt-3.5-turbo", "claude-instant-1.2", "command-nightly"], 
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey, how's it going"}]
)
print(responses)

Output
