LiteLLM Router adds fallback and retry logic for LLM providers

LiteLLM has introduced a new Router feature designed to enhance application reliability by abstracting away direct provider integrations. This tool allows developers to maintain a single OpenAI-compatible interface while seamlessly switching between or falling back to different LLM providers like OpenAI's GPT-4o mini and Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.5 or Haiku-4-5. The Router configuration enables automatic retries and provider fallbacks, preventing outages due to rate limits or service disruptions without requiring code modifications across the application.

IMPACT Simplifies LLM integration and improves application resilience against provider outages and rate limits.
