Predicted Outputs

PropertyDetails
DescriptionUse this when most of the output of the LLM is known ahead of time. For instance, if you are asking the model to rewrite some text or code with only minor changes, you can reduce your latency significantly by using Predicted Outputs, passing in the existing content as your prediction.

Using Predicted Outputs

In this example we want to refactor a piece of C# code, and convert the Username property to Email instead:

import litellm
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key"
code = """
/// <summary>
/// Represents a user with a first name, last name, and username.
/// </summary>
public class User
{
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the user's first name.
/// </summary>
public string FirstName { get; set; }

/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the user's last name.
/// </summary>
public string LastName { get; set; }

/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the user's username.
/// </summary>
public string Username { get; set; }
}
"""

completion = litellm.completion(
model="gpt-4o-mini",
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Replace the Username property with an Email property. Respond only with code, and with no markdown formatting.",
},
{"role": "user", "content": code},
],
prediction={"type": "content", "content": code},
)

print(completion)
