What is LiteLLM?

LiteLLM's LTS line adds Gemini batches and Azure image edits in back-to-back patches.

LiteLLM 1.109.0 landed on November 11 with mid-stream model fallback and the Chat UI on by default, and a security fix (#51254) reached four release lines the next night. Since then the LTS line moved twice: 1.108.7 adds Gemini batches, Azure Foundry image edits and Bedrock image search plus billing fixes, and 1.108.8 fixes an MCP sign-in loop. Dev builds toward 1.111 add per-customer usage tracking and a whole-request timeout.

What is Label Studio?

Label Studio's only tracked signal is a nightly build toward 1.24.

The single tracked entry is an automated nightly wheel built from the develop branch, versioned 1.24.0.dev. It shows work is underway on 1.24 but documents no features.

5.0

LiteLLM's LTS line adds Gemini batches and Azure image edits in back-to-back patches.

◆ Current state

LiteLLM 1.109.0 landed on November 11 with mid-stream model fallback and the Chat UI on by default, and a security fix (#51254) reached four release lines the next night. Since then the LTS line moved twice: 1.108.7 adds Gemini batches, Azure Foundry image edits and Bedrock image search plus billing fixes, and 1.108.8 fixes an MCP sign-in loop. Dev builds toward 1.111 add per-customer usage tracking and a whole-request timeout.

◆ Where it's heading

LiteLLM ships on three tracks at once: dev builds, a stable line and an LTS line that keeps getting real features, not only fixes. Billing accuracy and spend tracking show up in nearly every release.

◆ Prediction

Expect 1.110.0 final soon after its second candidate, and customer usage tracking from the dev builds in a later stable release.

0.3

Label Studio's only tracked signal is a nightly build toward 1.24.

◆ Current state

The single tracked entry is an automated nightly wheel built from the develop branch, versioned 1.24.0.dev. It shows work is underway on 1.24 but documents no features.

◆ Where it's heading

Nightlies point to an upcoming 1.24 release, but the feed captures the rolling nightly tag rather than versioned releases, so direction can't be read from it yet.

◆ Prediction

Too little history to call the next move; a tagged 1.24 release is the next thing to watch for.
