Quick note on adding rate limit for AI agents using LiteLLM server
Briefly

Creating a LiteLLM proxy server in a Docker container enhances control over AI interactions by implementing rate limiting for requests. The configuration, specifically rpm (requests per minute), is crucial to managing communication frequencies through AWS and other AI service providers. With Huggingface smolagents, existing max_tokens settings address output length, yet high message rates can rapidly exceed service limitations. Therefore, a custom proxy server setup becomes beneficial for sustained AI operations.
Setting up a LiteLLM proxy server as a Docker container allows for the implementation of request rate limiting, which can help manage high frequency interactions.
In Huggingface smolagents, controlling max_tokens affects output generation but does not sufficiently mitigate high request rates leading to service limits.
