We should first check out the inference api from hugging face https://huggingface.co/inference-api

Hi @FedericoGnesotto I’m the maintainer of LiteLLM (abstraction to call 100+ LLMs)- we allow you to create a proxy server to call 100+ LLMs, and I think it can solve your problem (I'd love your feedback if it does not)

Try it here: https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy_server https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm

Using LiteLLM Proxy Server

import openai
openai.api_base = "http://0.0.0.0:8000/" # proxy url
print(openai.ChatCompletion.create(model="test", messages=[{"role":"user", "content":"Hey!"}]))

Creating a proxy server
