Your first AI integration is usually simple: one provider, one SDK, one model. Then production happens. Costs rise. Rate limits appear. Teams need access control. Security wants API keys centralized. Product wants to test better models. Finance wants to know who is spending what. Suddenly, the real problem is not calling an LLM. The real problem is operating AI as shared infrastructure. The End of AI Vendor Lock-In shows how LiteLLM helps teams build provider-agnostic, resilient, cost-aware AI systems that can route across models, manage fallbacks, track spend, enforce budgets, and reduce dependency on any single provider. If you are building AI products that need to survive real-world production pressure, this book is for you.
