Changes

Summary

Implements complete OpenAI Container API support in LiteLLM SDK, enabling users to manage containers with litellm.create_container(), litellm.list_containers(), litellm.retrieve_container(), and litellm.delete_container() (plus async versions).

Key Features Added

• Complete CRUD operations: Create, list, retrieve, and delete containers
• Sync & Async support: All operations available in both synchronous and asynchronous versions
• Type safety: Full TypeScript-style type definitions for all container objects and parameters
• OpenAI compatibility: Direct integration with OpenAI's Container API specification

Usage Examples

import litellm

# Create container
container = litellm.create_container(
    name="My Container",
    expires_after={"anchor": "last_active_at", "minutes": 20},
    custom_llm_provider="openai"
)

# List containers
containers = litellm.list_containers(limit=10, custom_llm_provider="openai")

# Retrieve specific container
container = litellm.retrieve_container(container_id="cntr_123", custom_llm_provider="openai")

# Delete container
result = litellm.delete_container(container_id="cntr_123", custom_llm_provider="openai")

# All operations support async versions
container = await litellm.acreate_container(name="Async Container")
