LLMstudio is a framework designed to streamline the deployment of Large Language Model (LLM) applications into production environments. It targets developers and researchers seeking to manage, test, and monitor LLM interactions, offering a unified interface for various LLM providers and local models. The primary benefit is simplified LLM integration and operational oversight.

How It Works

LLMstudio acts as a proxy and management layer, providing a unified API to interact with multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and local models via Ollama. It features a Prompt Playground UI for prompt engineering and a Python SDK for programmatic integration. Key functionalities include smart routing and fallback mechanisms for high availability, batch calling for efficiency, and integrated monitoring and logging to track usage and performance.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: pip install 'llmstudio[proxy,tracker]' (full) or pip install llmstudio (lightweight).
• Prerequisites: API keys for supported LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) configured in a .env file. Conda environment recommended.
• Run: llmstudio server --proxy --tracker
• Docs: https://docs.llmstudio.ai
