this is great. redundancy across models (closed and open-source) seems like an obvious need, esp in light of everything this weekend
Braintrust also provides eval, so nice tie in across both...

#12from first glance, it looks similar to LiteLLM[0]. Are there any key differences? Also, in light of this weekend's madness, are you reconsidering using the OpenAI API as the canonical interface? Do you think there could be changes in the future? [0] https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm
LiteLLM is a great project. The key differences (from what I can tell) are that:
a) This is hosted b) Supports caching and load balancing c) Can manage multiple providers behind a single API key d) Implemented in Typescript (vs. Python)
On the other hand, LiteLLM is a more mature project and supports significantly more model providers than we currently do!

#13how does this differ from a model “router” (e.g. withmartian.com)?
Model routers are a "semantic" abstraction -- they analyze the contents of a prompt and automatically determine which provider to use. This proxy is (currently) much simpler: you pick the provider you want and we add a bunch of nice features like caching and low-latency on top.
We will likely work with or build some routing capabilities in the future!

#14I've been thinking that with OpenAI introducing more and more workflow there will be a company that turns opensource model to API + workflow. I'm wondering if Braintrust vision is that?

We think a lot about this. I think it's very important to us to provide building blocks that foster a more open ecosystem. Part of that is providing building blocks (like the proxy) that do not lock you too much into "our" way of doing things either.

#17Do you have plans to support Bedeock? In a hosted environment, I recognize it's a little more...involved. But still, I'm curious.

We absolutely can. The proxy already supports running in multiple environments, including your own AWS VPC deployed on Lambda, so I'm sure we could add support for Bedrock (Anthropic or other models).
Feel free to ping me at ankur@braintrustdata.com and we can chat more!

#19I prefer something open source. If the idea is to reduce dependencies on services. It is not against paying, but more against taking on another corporate dependency.

#20This looks great! The interface is really simple and I love that I can abstract away LLM provider concerns. I could see how this could be a nice play to overcome reliability issues with LLM providers.
