i was using this package in one of my projects. i found it had a bug, and when i went to maybe try to make a contribution to the open source repository, i found it to be a huge shitpile of vibe-coded mess. methods that were thousands of lines long with **hundreds** of arguments, it was impossible, and **very** alarming. it was clear to me that no one was watching the shop, so i immediately set about removing it from my project. and now, this. 🤗

there are **tons** of AI-related projects that use LiteLLM. it is a key part of the basic infrastructure of LLM-based development. if you use an LLM-based project, there is a good chance it uses LiteLLM.

(if you're curious, it does this very useful thing of standardizing LLM APIs into a single format. makes it easy for your app to switch between Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, z.ai, etc.)

this is actually a huge reason i have decided not to jump into LLM and AI agent-related development. the ecosystem is (as you would expect) run and maintained by people who are all-in on vibe coding, so a package you might like and include in your project could easily become a dangerous, unmaintainable mess within months. i don't know if people understand how brittle the whole thing is. everything is constantly, **constantly** changing.

like, it's moving **way** too fast for anyone to be able to tell if things are going to break or get injected with some malware. the whole thing is a house of cards built on top of a bomb.

oh my fucking god.

let's see, who can i tag about this... @davidgerard will definitely want to know. @tante maybe. idk, tag your favorite cyber-security person. this might be the mother of all LLM supply chain attacks lol. @briankrebs
