### Prompt Management

<Image

  style={{width: '100%', display: 'block', margin: '2rem auto'}}
/>

<br/>
<br/>

This release introduces **LiteLLM Prompt Studio** - a comprehensive prompt management solution built directly into the LiteLLM UI. Create, test, and version your prompts without leaving your browser.

You can now do the following on LiteLLM Prompt Studio:

- **Create & Test Prompts**: Build prompts with developer messages (system instructions) and test them in real-time with an interactive chat interface
- **Dynamic Variables**: Use `{{variable_name}}` syntax to create reusable prompt templates with automatic variable detection
- **Version Control**: Automatic versioning for every prompt update with complete version history tracking and rollback capabilities
- **Prompt Studio**: Edit prompts in a dedicated studio environment with live testing and preview

**API Integration:**

Use your prompts in any application with simple API calls:

```python
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    extra_body={
        "prompt_id": "your-prompt-id",
        "prompt_version": 2,  # Optional: specify version
        "prompt_variables": {"name": "value"}  # Optional: pass variables
    }
)
```

### Performance – `/realtime` 182× Lower p99 Latency

This update reduces `/realtime` latency by removing redundant encodings on the hot path, reusing shared SSL contexts, and caching formatting strings that were being regenerated twice per request despite rarely changing.

#### Results

| Metric          | Before    | After     | Improvement                |
| --------------- | --------- | --------- | -------------------------- |
| Median latency  | 2,200 ms  | **59 ms** | **−97% (~37× faster)**     |
| p95 latency     | 8,500 ms  | **67 ms** | **−99% (~127× faster)**    |
| p99 latency     | 18,000 ms | **99 ms** | **−99% (~182× faster)**    |
| Average latency | 3,214 ms  | **63 ms** | **−98% (~51× faster)**     |
| RPS             | 165       | **1,207** | **+631% (~7.3× increase)** |


#### Test Setup

| Category | Specification |
|----------|---------------|
| **Load Testing** | Locust: 1,000 concurrent users, 500 ramp-up |
| **System** | 4 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM, 4 workers, 4 instances |
| **Database** | PostgreSQL (Redis unused) |
| **Configuration** | [config.yaml](https://gist.github.com/AlexsanderHamir/420fb44c31c00b4f17a99588637f01ec) |
| **Load Script** | [no_cache_hits.py](https://gist.github.com/AlexsanderHamir/73b83ada21d9b84d4fe09665cf1745f5) |

### Model Compare UI

New interactive playground UI enables side-by-side comparison of multiple LLM models, making it easy to evaluate and compare model responses.

**Features:**
- Compare responses from multiple models in real-time
- Side-by-side view with synchronized scrolling
- Support for all LiteLLM-supported models
- Cost tracking per model
- Response time comparison
- Pre-configured prompts for quick and easy testing

**Details:**

- **Parameterization**: Configure API keys, endpoints, models, and model parameters, as well as interaction types (chat completions, embeddings, etc.)

- **Model Comparison**: Compare up to 3 different models simultaneously with side-by-side response views

- **Comparison Metrics**: View detailed comparison information including:

  - Time To First Token
  - Input / Output / Reasoning Tokens
  - Total Latency
  - Cost (if enabled in config)

- **Safety Filters**: Configure and test guardrails (safety filters) directly in the playground interface
