What happened?

I'm trying to use liteLLM as backend for claude code, following the documentation here.

LiteLLM has been working great with the desired model for a while, and the setup works using other tools to make the request. However, when I make the requests from claude, I get the following error in claude code:

    {"error":{"message":"litellm.AuthenticationError: AuthenticationError:     
     OpenAIException - {\n  \"error\": {\n    \"message\": \"Incorrect API key  
     provided: sk-1234. You can find your API key at                 
     https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.\",\n    \"type\":            
     \"invalid_request_error\",\n    \"code\": \"invalid_api_key\",\n

     Group=<model>\nAvailable Model Group                    
     Fallbacks=None","type":null,"param":null,"code":"401"}

And the following exception in the liteLLM logs:

What I've observed:

The requests arrive correctly, so the endpoint configuration in claude code must be working as intended
LiteLLM logs show failed requests with that exact message. The requests are correctly associated to the API key that is being used in claude code, so I'm assuming the setup is correct client-side.
The only place where a sk-1234 api key is used as a placeholder is in our configuration yaml. Specifically:

  - model_name: <name>
    litellm_params:
      model: openai/<backend-name>
      base_url: <url>
      api_key: "sk-1234"
    model_info:
      input_cost_per_token: 0.000005
      output_cost_per_token: 0.000005

(base_url points to a private instance where the model is running)

I'm confused about why the backend accepts request made normally (With curl, or with the other tools we are using), but refuses the requests made from claude code. Only explanation I have is that, for some reason, liteLLM could be sending the request made from claude code to the openAI servers instead of the backend configured for that model, but I don't understand why this would happen, or if this is the case.

Any help troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated.

Update: I've checked with wireshark and there are no requests being made to servers other than the specified backend, so there's at least some difference in the requests made to the same backend (Which is working properly) that cause this error. The backend itself works OK. My best guess is that the way the requests are made with claude code cause liteLLM's request to the backend to be made in a different way, but I still haven't digged deep into it.

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to the API key "sk-1234" being used as a placeholder in the configuration YAML, which is causing the authentication error when making requests from Claude code.

Guidance

Verify that the API key in the configuration YAML is correctly replaced with the actual API key for the private instance.
Check the request headers and parameters sent by Claude code to ensure they match the expected format for the LiteLLM backend.
Investigate the differences in requests made by Claude code and other tools to identify the root cause of the authentication error.
Consider adding logging or debugging statements to the LiteLLM code to inspect the requests and API key usage.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue seems to be related to configuration and request formatting.

Notes

The fact that the requests work with other tools but not with Claude code suggests that there might be a difference in how the requests are formatted or authenticated. The use of "sk-1234" as a placeholder API key in the configuration YAML is likely the cause of the issue.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by replacing the placeholder API key "sk-1234" with the actual API key for the private instance in the configuration YAML. This should resolve the authentication error and allow requests from Claude code to be processed correctly.
