tip

We support ALL Github models, just set model=github/<any-model-on-github> as a prefix when sending litellm requests Ignore company prefix: meta/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct becomes model=github/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct

API Key​

# env variable
os.environ['GITHUB_API_KEY']

Sample Usage​

from litellm import completion
import os

os.environ['GITHUB_API_KEY'] = ""
response = completion(
    model="github/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct", 
    messages=[
       {"role": "user", "content": "hello from litellm"}
   ],
)
print(response)

Sample Usage - Streaming​

from litellm import completion
import os

os.environ['GITHUB_API_KEY'] = ""
response = completion(
    model="github/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct", 
    messages=[
       {"role": "user", "content": "hello from litellm"}
   ],
    stream=True
)

for chunk in response:
    print(chunk)

Usage with LiteLLM Proxy​

1. Set Github Models on config.yaml​

model_list:
  - model_name: github-Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct # Model Alias to use for requests
    litellm_params:
      model: github/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct
      api_key: "os.environ/GITHUB_API_KEY" # ensure you have `GITHUB_API_KEY` in your .env

2. Start Proxy​

litellm --config config.yaml

3. Test it​

Make request to litellm proxy

curl --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/chat/completions' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data ' {
      "model": "github-Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct",
      "messages": [
        {
          "role": "user",
          "content": "what llm are you"
        }
      ]
    }
'
