Agent Hub​

This release adds support for registering and making agents public for your organization. This is great for Proxy Admins who want a central place to make agents built in their organization, discoverable to their users.

Here's the flow:

1. Add agent to litellm.
2. Make it public.
3. Allow anyone to discover it on the public AI Hub page.

Built-in Guardrails on AI Gateway​

This release introduces built-in guardrails for LiteLLM AI Gateway, allowing you to enforce protections without depending on an external guardrail API.

• Blocking Keywords - Block known sensitive keywords like "litellm", "python", etc.
• Pattern Detection - Block known sensitive patterns like emails, Social Security Numbers, API keys, etc.
• Custom Regex Patterns - Define custom regex patterns for your specific use case.

Get started with the built-in guardrails on AI Gateway here.

Performance – /responses 19× Lower Median Latency​

This update significantly improves /responses latency by integrating our internal network management for connection handling, eliminating per-request setup overhead.

MCP Gateway - Control Tool Access by Team, Key​

Proxy admins can now control MCP tool access by team or key. This makes it easy to grant different teams selective access to tools from the same MCP server.

For example, you can now give your Engineering team access to list_repositories, create_issue, and search_code tools, while Sales only gets search_code and close_issue tools.

This makes it easier for Proxy Admins to govern MCP Tool Access.

Get Started

Performance - 70% Lower p99 Latency​

This release cuts p99 latency by 70% on LiteLLM AI Gateway, making it even better for low-latency use cases.

These gains come from two key enhancements:

Reliable Sessions

Added support for shared sessions with aiohttp. The shared_session parameter is now consistently used across all calls, enabling connection pooling.

Faster Routing

A new model_name_to_deployment_indices hash map replaces O(n) list scans in _get_all_deployments() with O(1) hash lookups, boosting routing performance and scalability.

As a result, performance improved across all latency percentiles:

• Median latency: 110 ms → 100 ms (−9.1%)
• p95 latency: 440 ms → 150 ms (−65.9%)
• p99 latency: 810 ms → 240 ms (−70.4%)
• Average latency: 310 ms → 111.73 ms (−64.0%)

ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:v1.77.7.rc.1

pip install litellm==1.77.7.rc.1

Key Highlights​

• Dynamic Rate Limiter v3 - Automatically maximizes throughput when capacity is available (< 80% saturation) by allowing lower-priority requests to use unused capacity, then switches to fair priority-based allocation under high load (≥ 80%) to prevent blocking
• Major Performance Improvements - 2.9x lower median latency at 1,000 concurrent users.
• Claude Sonnet 4.5 - Support for Anthropic's new Claude Sonnet 4.5 model family with 200K+ context and tiered pricing
• MCP Gateway Enhancements - Fine-grained tool control, server permissions, and forwardable headers
• AMD Lemonade & Nvidia NIM - New provider support for AMD Lemonade and Nvidia NIM Rerank
• GitLab Prompt Management - GitLab-based prompt management integration

Performance - 2.9x Lower Median Latency​

This update removes LiteLLM router inefficiencies, reducing complexity from O(M×N) to O(1). Previously, it built a new array and ran repeated checks like data["model"] in llm_router.get_model_ids(). Now, a direct ID-to-deployment map eliminates redundant allocations and scans.

As a result, performance improved across all latency percentiles:

• Median latency: 320 ms → 110 ms (−65.6%)
• p95 latency: 850 ms → 440 ms (−48.2%)
• p99 latency: 1,400 ms → 810 ms (−42.1%)
• Average latency: 864 ms → 310 ms (−64%)

MCP OAuth 2.0 Support​

This release adds support for OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials for MCP servers. This is great for Internal Dev Tools use-cases, as it enables your users to call MCP servers, with their own credentials. E.g. Allowing your developers to call the Github MCP, with their own credentials.

Set it up today on Claude Code

Scheduled Key Rotations​

This release brings support for scheduling virtual key rotations on LiteLLM AI Gateway.

From this release you can enforce Virtual Keys to rotate on a schedule of your choice e.g every 15 days/30 days/60 days etc.

This is great for Proxy Admins who need to enforce security policies for production workloads.

• MCP OAuth 2.0 Support - Enhanced authentication for Model Context Protocol integrations
• Scheduled Key Rotations - Automated key rotation capabilities for enhanced security
• New Gemini 2.5 Flash & Flash-lite Models - Latest September 2025 preview models with improved pricing and features
• Performance Improvements - 54% RPS improvement

Performance Improvements - 54% RPS Improvement​

This release brings a 54% RPS improvement (1,040 → 1,602 RPS, aggregated) per instance.

The improvement comes from fixing O(n²) inefficiencies in the LiteLLM Router, primarily caused by repeated use of in statements inside loops over large arrays.

Tests were run with a database-only setup (no cache hits).

Test Setup​

All benchmarks were executed using Locust with 1,000 concurrent users and a ramp-up of 500. The environment was configured to stress the routing layer and eliminate caching as a variable.

Key Highlights​

• +550 RPS Performance Improvements - Optimizations in request handling and object initialization.
• Priority Quota Reservation - Proxy admins can now reserve TPM/RPM capacity for specific keys.

Priority Quota Reservation​

This release adds support for priority quota reservation. This allows Proxy Admins to reserve specific percentages of model capacity for different use cases.

This is great for use cases where you want to ensure your realtime use cases must always get priority responses and background development jobs can take longer.

This release adds support for priority quota reservation. This allows Proxy Admins to reserve TPM/RPM capacity for keys based on metadata priority levels, ensuring critical production workloads get guaranteed access regardless of development traffic volume.

Get started here

+550 RPS Performance Improvements​

This release delivers significant RPS improvements through targeted optimizations.

We've achieved a +500 RPS boost by fixing cache type inconsistencies that were causing frequent cache misses, plus an additional +50 RPS by removing unnecessary coroutine checks from the hot path.

  Or start LiteLLM Proxy with:

  litellm --num_workers 1
