Model Alias

The model name you show an end-user might be different from the one you pass to LiteLLM - e.g. Displaying GPT-3.5 while calling gpt-3.5-turbo-16k on the backend.

LiteLLM simplifies this by letting you pass in a model alias mapping.

expected format

litellm.model_alias_map = {
    # a dictionary containing a mapping of the alias string to the actual litellm model name string
    "model_alias": "litellm_model_name"
}

usage

Relevant Code

model_alias_map = {
    "GPT-3.5": "gpt-3.5-turbo-16k",
    "llama2": "replicate/llama-2-70b-chat:2796ee9483c3fd7aa2e171d38f4ca12251a30609463dcfd4cd76703f22e96cdf"
}

litellm.model_alias_map = model_alias_map
