Common questions

Should I replace LiteLLM entirely?
Use LLMWise when you want less operational overhead and faster optimization iteration. Keep LiteLLM for fully custom self-managed flows.
Can I still control model choices?
Yes. You can set preferred and blocked models, guardrails, and fallback depth in policy settings.
