## Key Highlights 


### Claude on gemini-cli


<Image img={require('../../img/release_notes/gemini_cli.png')} />

<br/>

This release brings support for using gemini-cli with LiteLLM. 

You can use claude-sonnet-4, gemini-2.5-flash (Vertex AI & Google AI Studio), gpt-4.1 and any LiteLLM supported model on gemini-cli.

When you use gemini-cli with LiteLLM you get the following benefits:

**Developer Benefits:**
- Universal Model Access: Use any LiteLLM supported model (Anthropic, OpenAI, Vertex AI, Bedrock, etc.) through the gemini-cli interface.
- Higher Rate Limits & Reliability: Load balance across multiple models and providers to avoid hitting individual provider limits, with fallbacks to ensure you get responses even if one provider fails.

**Proxy Admin Benefits:**
- Centralized Management: Control access to all models through a single LiteLLM proxy instance without giving your developers API Keys to each provider.
- Budget Controls: Set spending limits and track costs across all gemini-cli usage.

[Get Started](../../docs/tutorials/litellm_gemini_cli)

### Batch API Cost Tracking

<Image img={require('../../img/release_notes/batch_api_cost_tracking.jpg')}/>

<br/>

v1.73.6 brings cost tracking for [LiteLLM Managed Batch API](../../docs/proxy/managed_batches) calls to LiteLLM. Previously, this was not being done for Batch API calls using LiteLLM Managed Files. Now, LiteLLM will store the status of each batch call in the DB and poll incomplete batch jobs in the background, emitting a spend log for cost tracking once the batch is complete.

There is no new flag / change needed on your end. Over the next few weeks we hope to extend this to cover batch cost tracking for the Anthropic passthrough as well.
