Before starting this guide, ensure you have completed the Installation Guide and installed all required dependencies.

​
Run LiteLLM as a Docker Container

To connect LiteLLM with an OpenAI model, configure your litellm_config.yaml as follows: 
model_list:
  - model_name: openai-gpt-4o-mini
    litellm_params:
      model: openai/gpt-4o-mini
      api_key: os.environ/OPENAI_API_KEY
Before starting the container, ensure you have correctly set the following environment variables:
  • OPENAI_API_KEY
Run the container using: 
docker run -v $(pwd)/litellm_config.yaml:/app/config.yaml \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY="your_api_key" \
-p 4000:4000 ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:main-latest --config /app/config.yaml --detailed_debug
Once running, LiteLLM will be accessible at: http://0.0.0.0:4000 To confirm that config.yaml is correctly mounted, check the logs: 
...
14:15:59 - LiteLLM Proxy:DEBUG: proxy_server.py:1507 - loaded config={
    "model_list": [
        {
            "model_name": "openai-gpt-4o-mini",
            "litellm_params": {
                "model": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
                "api_key": "os.environ/OPENAI_API_KEY"
            }
        }
    ]
}
...

Initiate Chat

To communicate with LiteLLM, configure the model in config_list and initiate a chat session. 
from autogen import AssistantAgent, UserProxyAgent, LLMConfig

llm_config = LLMConfig(
    model="openai-gpt-4o-mini",
    base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000",
)

user_proxy = UserProxyAgent(
    name="user_proxy",
    human_input_mode="NEVER",
)

with llm_config:
    assistant = AssistantAgent(name="assistant")

user_proxy.initiate_chat(
    recipient=assistant,
    message="Solve the following equation: 2x + 3 = 7",
    max_turns=3,
)
