LiteLLM Python SDK Usage

Quick Start

from litellm import rerank
import os

os.environ["COHERE_API_KEY"] = "sk-.."

query = "What is the capital of the United States?"
documents = [
"Carson City is the capital city of the American state of Nevada.",
"The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean. Its capital is Saipan.",
"Washington, D.C. is the capital of the United States.",
"Capital punishment has existed in the United States since before it was a country.",
]

response = rerank(
model="cohere/rerank-english-v3.0",
query=query,
documents=documents,
top_n=3,
)
print(response)

Async Usage

from litellm import arerank
import os, asyncio

os.environ["COHERE_API_KEY"] = "sk-.."

async def test_async_rerank():
query = "What is the capital of the United States?"
documents = [
"Carson City is the capital city of the American state of Nevada.",
"The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean. Its capital is Saipan.",
"Washington, D.C. is the capital of the United States.",
"Capital punishment has existed in the United States since before it was a country.",
]

response = await arerank(
model="cohere/rerank-english-v3.0",
query=query,
documents=documents,
top_n=3,
)
print(response)

asyncio.run(test_async_rerank())
