You guys need to fact check your AI-generated blog posts:

> One popular solution, LiteLLM, is highly valued for its wide support of different providers and modalities, making it a great choice for many developers. However, it re-implements provider interfaces rather than leveraging SDKs that are managed and released by the providers themselves. As a result, the approach can lead to compatibility issues and unexpected modifications in behavior, making it difficult to keep up with the changes happening among all the providers.

LiteLLM is rock-solid in practice. The underlying API providers announce breaking changes well in advance, and LiteLLM has never been caught out by this. LLMs will come up with hypothetical cons like this upon request.

> Lastly, proxy/gateway solutions like OpenRouter and Portkey require users to set up a hosted proxy server to act as an intermediary between their code and the LLM provider. Although this can effectively abstract away the complicated logic from the developer, it adds an extra layer of complexity and a dependency on external services, which might not be ideal for all use cases.

OpenRouter is a hosted service that provides the proxy/gateway infrastructure. Users don't "set up a hosted proxy server" themselves; they just make API calls to OpenRouter's endpoints. But older LLMs don't know what OpenRouter is and will assume it's a self-hosted proxy server.

> Another option, AISuite, was created by Andrew NG and offers a clean and modular design. However, it is not actively maintained (its last release was in December of 2024) and lacks consistent Python-typed interfaces.

Okay so you clicked the "releases" tab and saw December 2024. Next time check https://github.com/andrewyng/aisuite/commits/main/ Small, fast moving community projects like this, exllamav2, etc don't necessarily tag releases.

I've got nothing against using AI to write posts like this, but at least take the time to fact check before dumping on other people's work.

If not for the Mozilla branding, I'd have assumed this was a scam/malware - especially since it's name is so similar to Anything-LLM.
