+## LiteLLM Proxy Server integration
+
+LiteLLM integration helps out switch between models easily and rapidly. This is easy to integrate via `AsyncOpenAI`:
+
+```bash
+# launch server proxy with your configuration
+litellm --config examples/model_providers/litellm_config.yaml
+
+# then use the proxy via the SDK
+python3 examples/model_providers/litellm.py
+```
+
+### Testing the proxy server
+Testing some basic models against proxy to verify it's operational:
+```bash
+# qwen2.5:14b
+curl -s http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"model": "qwen2.5:14b", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say hi"}], "max_tokens": 10}' | jq
+
+# claude-3-7
+curl -s http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"model": "claude-3-7", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say hi"}], "max_tokens": 10}' | jq
+
+# gpt-4o
+curl -s http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"model": "gpt-4o", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say hi"}], "max_tokens": 10}' | jq
+```
