XACTUM launches LiteLLM logger to detect LLM price and model drift

XACTUM has developed a LiteLLM CustomLogger callback designed to detect price inflation and model discrepancies in LLM gateways. This tool acts as a tripwire, checking configured prices against independent references via XACTUM's API and verifying that the billed model matches the one requested. The system aims to prevent unexpected cost increases without adding dependencies to LLM calls, with a pay-per-check model and open-source availability. AI

IMPACT Helps developers monitor costs and ensure model accuracy in LLM API calls.
