Key Highlights​

LiteLLM v1.68.0-stable will be live soon. Here are the key highlights of this release:

  • Bedrock Knowledge Base: You can now call query your Bedrock Knowledge Base with all LiteLLM models via /chat/completion or /responses API.
  • Rate Limits: This release brings accurate rate limiting across multiple instances, reducing spillover to at most 10 additional requests in high traffic.
  • Meta Llama API: Added support for Meta Llama API Get Started
  • LlamaFile: Added support for LlamaFile Get Started

Bedrock Knowledge Base (Vector Store)​


This release adds support for Bedrock vector stores (knowledge bases) in LiteLLM. With this update, you can:

  • Use Bedrock vector stores in the OpenAI /chat/completions spec with all LiteLLM supported models.
  • View all available vector stores through the LiteLLM UI or API.
  • Configure vector stores to be always active for specific models.
  • Track vector store usage in LiteLLM Logs.

For the next release we plan on allowing you to set key, user, team, org permissions for vector stores.

Rate Limiting​


This release brings accurate multi-instance rate limiting across keys/users/teams. Outlining key engineering changes below:

  • Change: Instances now increment cache value instead of setting it. To avoid calling Redis on each request, this is synced every 0.01s.
  • Accuracy: In testing, we saw a maximum spill over from expected of 10 requests, in high traffic (100 RPS, 3 instances), vs. current 189 request spillover
  • Performance: Our load tests show this to reduce median response time by 100ms in high traffic 

This is currently behind a feature flag, and we plan to have this be the default by next week. To enable this today, just add this environment variable:

export LITELLM_RATE_LIMIT_ACCURACY=true
