<Image img={require('../../img/image_handling.png')} style={{ width: '900px', height: 'auto' }} /> Some LLM API's don't support url's for images, but do support base-64 strings. For those, LiteLLM will: 1. Detect a URL being passed 2. Check if the LLM API supports a URL 3. Else, will download the base64 4. Send the provider a base64 string. LiteLLM also caches this result, in-memory to reduce latency for subsequent calls. The limit for an in-memory cache is 1MB.
