# LiteLLM

An open-source AI gateway that provides a single API key to access multiple LLM providers, with usage tracking, cost controls, and model routing.

**Route:** surfaced by the AI Development and Deployment Infrastructure lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** LiteLLM serves the same platform teams and AI/agent developers that Vercel targets with its AI Gateway, offering an open-source, self-hosted alternative for the same proxy-and-routing capability between apps and LLM providers.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Put your full AI stack behind one key

> See who is driving spend, cap it before it runs, and send each request to the model that should handle it

> One OpenAI-compatible API to 140+ providers and 1,800+ models
