LiteLLM –
Full Control Over Every AI Request

LiteLLM is the central control layer behind your AI infrastructure. Set budgets, track usage, manage access – entirely on your own hardware, no cloud, no data sharing.

What is LiteLLM – and why do enterprises need it?

LiteLLM is an open-source API gateway for language models. It sits as an invisible layer between your employees and the AI models running in the background – giving you complete control over who may use what, for how long, and at what cost.

In practice, this means department heads can see exactly which teams are using which models and how intensively. IT administrators can set budgets per team, project, or user. And management gets an on-demand overview of AI usage across the entire organization.

Everything stays on your own hardware. Not a single request leaves your network. LiteLLM logs internally and stores no data with third parties.

LiteLLM is the backbone of your AI infrastructure.

While Open WebUI or LibreChat provide the interface for your employees, LiteLLM handles the control layer behind the scenes: which model is called? Is the budget still available? Who has made the most requests this week?

For organizations with multiple teams or departments, this level of transparency and control is indispensable.

LiteLLM in detail – what the gateway delivers

LiteLLM is more than a proxy. It is the control centre for all AI activity in your organization.

Budget Management

Set monthly or weekly limits per user, team, or department – with automatic lockout when the limit is reached.

Usage Tracking

Every request is logged: timestamp, model, token consumption, user. Full transparency with zero extra effort.

Access Control

Issue API keys per user or application. Each key can be restricted to specific models or budgets.

Model Routing

Automatically route requests to the most suitable model – based on task type, load, or availability.

Unified API

Access all models through a single OpenAI-compatible interface – regardless of whether Llama, Mistral, or Qwen is running underneath.

Policies & Rules

Define and enforce usage policies for models, content, and request volumes centrally – no per-user configuration required.

Web Dashboard

A clear admin panel for all settings – usage, budgets, keys, and logs at a glance, directly in the browser.

GDPR by Design

All logs, statistics, and keys remain on your hardware. No third-country transfers, no external dependencies.

Fallback & Load Balancing

Automatically switch to an alternative when a model fails. Distribute requests across multiple instances.

How we deploy LiteLLM for you

LiteLLM is part of our complete AI stack – we set up everything together on your hardware.

1

Hardware & Infrastructure

We install LiteLLM on your existing or newly supplied hardware – as a container that starts and runs automatically.

2

Configure Models & Routing

All running language models are registered in LiteLLM and assigned sensible routing rules – tailored to your use cases.

3

Set Up Teams, Budgets & Keys

We create departments, budget limits, and API keys – aligned with your organizational structure, not a rigid template.

4

Dashboard Handover

You receive access to the admin dashboard and a brief walkthrough. From that point on you have full control – and we are available for any questions.

LiteLLM as part of the complete AI stack

We always deploy LiteLLM together with the appropriate chat interfaces and LLM runners. The result is a complete, production-ready AI stack for your organization – from a single source, on your hardware.

Typical combination: Open WebUI or LibreChat as the chat interface for employees, LiteLLM as the gateway in the background, Ollama as the LLM runner for the models. Everything set up, tested, and handed over together.

No vendor lock-in, no subscriptions, no monthly licence fees. Once deployed, the system belongs to you.

Frequently asked questions about LiteLLM

LiteLLM is an API gateway for language models. It receives all AI requests from within the organization, checks budgets and access rights, routes requests to the correct model, and logs usage. This gives IT and management complete, real-time transparency over AI activity across the organization.
Not strictly necessary to get started – but once multiple teams or departments are using AI, LiteLLM becomes essential. It gives you cost control, usage transparency, and central administration that are simply not available without a gateway. We generally recommend it for organizations with more than five users.
Yes – LiteLLM supports both local models and external API providers through the same interface. Use local models for privacy-sensitive requests and selectively access external APIs for specific tasks. Budget control applies to both.
In local operation – yes, fully. All logs, usage data, and configurations remain on your hardware within your network. There is no telemetry, no cloud connection, and no third-country transfer. When using external APIs such as OpenAI, the respective privacy policies of those providers apply.
Technically, LiteLLM is more demanding than a simple chat interface – integrating existing models, configuring budgets, and connecting to your network all require experience. We handle the entire setup and hand over a finished, tested system.
