LiteLLM, founded in 2023 and backed by Y Combinator (W23), has built a widely adopted open-source AI Gateway. The platform provides developers with a single, unified interface to access over 100 large language models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Azure, and AWS Bedrock using a standard OpenAI-compatible API format. This infrastructure simplifies enterprise AI management by centralizing access and control across a fragmented model landscape.
The project's traction is substantial, evidenced by over 53,000 GitHub stars and billions of monthly requests processed through its gateway. Its enterprise-grade controls are trusted by a roster of prominent companies including NVIDIA, Netflix, Stripe, IBM, SAP, and Okta. The technical work involves deep integration across AI/ML infrastructure, API gateway design, and large language model systems, operating at a significant scale.
The company's culture is oriented around open-source software development and building developer-centric tools that meet enterprise requirements. Work spans the technology, enterprise software, and AI/ML sectors, addressing needs for organizations across FinTech and media & entertainment.
