Not just as a gateway in a lot cases, but CrewAI and DSPy use it directly. DSPy uses it as its only way to call upstream LLM providers and CrewAI falls back to it if the OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. SDKs aren't available.

Do you feel as if people will update litellm without looking at this discussion/maybe having it be automatic which would then lead to loss of crypto wallets/ especially AI Api keys?

Now I am not worried about the Ai Api keys having much damage but I am thinking of one step further and I am not sure how many of these corporations follow privacy policy and so perhaps someone more experienced can tell me but wouldn't these applications keep logs for legal purposes and those logs can contain sensitive information, both of businesses but also, private individuals perhaps too?
