Understanding the Components

SAP Generative AI Hub

SAP Generative AI Hub is SAP’s enterprise platform for accessing large language models. It provides centralized access to LLMs from multiple providers including OpenAI, Google, Amazon, Mistral, and SAP’s own models, with built-in governance, security, and compliance features.

LiteLLM

LiteLLM is an open-source library that provides a unified interface for 100+ LLM providers. It translates requests into provider-specific formats, allowing you to use any LLM with a standardized OpenAI-compatible API.

The Integration

Most open-source agent frameworks are designed to work with OpenAI’s API. LiteLLM acts as a bridge, translating OpenAI-style requests to work with SAP Generative AI Hub. This means you can use any framework that supports OpenAI with SAP’s enterprise LLM platform, without modifying the framework’s code.

Framework Support Overview

The following table shows which frameworks are included in this repository, their integration methods, and example notebooks:

Integration Types

Library Integration: Uses LiteLLM as a Python library directly in your code. The framework calls LiteLLM functions, which handle the communication with SAP Generative AI Hub.
Proxy Integration: Runs LiteLLM as a standalone server that mimics the OpenAI API. Your framework connects to this local proxy server, which forwards requests to SAP Generative AI Hub. This approach enables multi-language support.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

SAP AI Core with Generative AI Hub subscription via SAP BTP tenant
Python 3.10 or higher
LiteLLM library (latest version includes SAP provider support)

Note: While Python 3.10+ is supported, Python 3.14 or higher is recommended for optimal performance and compatibility.

Installation

pip install litellm

For proxy-based integration:

pip install "litellm[proxy]"

Basic Workflow

Set up credentials: Obtain your SAP AI Core service key from your BTP tenant
Choose integration method: Decide between library or proxy approach based on your needs
Configure connection: Set up LiteLLM with your SAP credentials
Select a framework: Choose from the examples below
Build your agent: Follow the notebook examples to create your AI agent

Running LiteLLM as a Proxy

The proxy approach runs LiteLLM as a standalone server, making it accessible to any application that can make HTTP requests. This is particularly useful for multi-language support (e.g., JavaScript, Go) and microservices architectures.

The proxy mimics the OpenAI API, allowing any OpenAI-compatible client to connect to SAP Generative AI Hub by pointing it to the local proxy URL.

For detailed instructions on configuring and running the proxy, including Docker setup, please see the LiteLLM Proxy Setup Guide.

Multi-Language Support

Because LiteLLM can run as a proxy server with an OpenAI-compatible API, you’re not limited to Python. Any language that can make HTTP requests can use SAP Generative AI Hub through the LiteLLM proxy.

JavaScript/TypeScript Example

Here’s how to use LangChain.js with the LiteLLM proxy:

import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";

const model = new ChatOpenAI({
  modelName: "sap/gpt-4",
  openAIApiKey: "sk-1234", // Your proxy master key
  configuration: {
    baseURL: "http://localhost:4000", // LiteLLM proxy URL
  },
});

const response = await model.invoke("Hello, how are you?");
console.log(response.content);
