# Gollem Go Agent Framework with LiteLLM
A working example showing how to use [gollem](https://github.com/fugue-labs/gollem), a production-grade Go agent framework, with LiteLLM as a proxy gateway. This lets Go developers access 100+ LLM providers through a single proxy while keeping compile-time type safety for tools and structured output.
## Quick Start
### 1. Start LiteLLM Proxy
```bash
# Simple start with a single model
litellm --model gpt-4o
# Or with the example config for multi-provider access
litellm --config proxy_config.yaml
```
### 2. Run the examples
```bash
# Install Go dependencies
go mod tidy
# Basic agent
go run ./basic
# Agent with type-safe tools
go run ./tools
# Streaming responses
go run ./streaming
```
## Configuration
The included `proxy_config.yaml` sets up three providers through LiteLLM:
```yaml
model_list:
- model_name: gpt-4o # OpenAI
- model_name: claude-sonnet # Anthropic
- model_name: gemini-pro # Google Vertex AI
```
Switch providers in Go by changing a single string — no code changes needed:
```go
model := openai.NewLiteLLM("http://localhost:4000",
openai.WithModel("gpt-4o"), // OpenAI
// openai.WithModel("claude-sonnet"), // Anthropic
// openai.WithModel("gemini-pro"), // Google
)
```
## Examples
### `basic/` — Basic Agent
Connects gollem to LiteLLM and runs a simple prompt. Demonstrates the `NewLiteLLM` constructor and basic agent creation.
### `tools/` — Type-Safe Tools
Shows gollem's compile-time type-safe tool framework working through LiteLLM's tool-use passthrough. The tool parameters are Go structs with JSON tags — the schema is generated automatically at compile time.
### `streaming/` — Streaming Responses
Real-time token streaming using Go 1.23+ range-over-function iterators, proxied through LiteLLM's SSE passthrough.
## How It Works
Gollem's `openai.NewLiteLLM()` constructor creates an OpenAI-compatible provider pointed at your LiteLLM proxy. Since LiteLLM speaks the OpenAI API protocol, everything works out of the box:
- **Chat completions** — standard request/response
- **Tool use** — LiteLLM passes tool definitions and calls through transparently
- **Streaming** — Server-Sent Events proxied through LiteLLM
- **Structured output** — JSON schema response format works with supporting models
```
Go App (gollem) → LiteLLM Proxy → OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / ...
```
## Why Use This?
- **Type-safe Go**: Compile-time type checking for tools, structured output, and agent configuration — no runtime surprises
- **Single proxy, many models**: Switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and 100+ other providers by changing a model name string
- **Zero-dependency core**: gollem's core has no external dependencies — just stdlib
- **Single binary deployment**: `go build` produces one binary, no pip/venv/Docker needed
- **Cost tracking & rate limiting**: LiteLLM handles cost tracking, rate limits, and fallbacks at the proxy layer
## Environment Variables
```bash
# Required for providers you want to use (set in LiteLLM config or env)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
# Optional: point to a non-default LiteLLM proxy
export LITELLM_PROXY_URL="http://localhost:4000"
```
## Troubleshooting
**Connection errors?**
- Make sure LiteLLM is running: `litellm --model gpt-4o`
- Check the URL is correct (default: `http://localhost:4000`)
**Model not found?**
- Verify the model name matches what's configured in LiteLLM
- Run `curl http://localhost:4000/models` to see available models
**Tool calls not working?**
- Ensure the underlying model supports tool use (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini)
- Check LiteLLM logs for any provider-specific errors
