This release is published as [`ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:v1.106.4`](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pkgs/container/litellm). See the [GitHub release](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/releases/tag/v1.106.4) and the full [releases page](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/releases)

`v1.106.4` is a patch release on top of [`v1.106.3`](/release_notes/v1.106.3/v1-106-3). It fixes a startup crash when the remote model cost map is unreachable and moves the Docker images to newer base images on `stable/1.106.x`. There are no new database migrations. The `v1.106.4` tag points at [`ea7ca16`](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/commit/ea7ca16dbc3904d9e59a9505f379a2ca3091821f)

### What's Changed

- The proxy no longer sometimes exits on startup with an `ImportError` when it cannot reach the remote model cost map. This started in `v1.104.0` - [PR #46711](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pull/46711)
- Docker images move to newer base images, so image scans stop flagging brotli 1.2.0, the emSign ECC Root CA - G3 and packages from repo lockfiles that the images never install - [PR #48283](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pull/48283), [PR #48300](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pull/48300)

The startup fix and the version bump are backported in [PR #48294](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pull/48294)
