+# ✅ FIXED: LiteLLM Integration with LLMX
+
+## The Root Cause
+
+The `prompt_cache_key: Extra inputs are not permitted` error was caused by a **hardcoded default provider**.
+
+**File**: `llmx-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs:983`
+**Problem**: Default provider was set to `"openai"` which uses the Responses API
+**Fix**: Changed default to `"litellm"` which uses the Chat Completions API
+
+## The Error Chain
+
+1. No provider specified → defaults to "openai"
+2. OpenAI provider → uses `wire_api: WireApi::Responses`
+3. Responses API → sends `prompt_cache_key` field in requests
+4. LiteLLM Chat Completions API → rejects `prompt_cache_key` → 400 error
+
+## The Solution
+
+Changed one line in `llmx-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs`:
+
+```rust
+// BEFORE:
+.unwrap_or_else(|| "openai".to_string());
+
+// AFTER:
+.unwrap_or_else(|| "litellm".to_string());
+```
+
+## Current Status ✅
+
+- **Binary Built**: `llmx-rs/target/release/llmx` (44MB, built at 16:36)
+- **Default Provider**: LiteLLM (uses Chat Completions API)
+- **Default Model**: `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514`
+- **Commit**: `e3507a7f`
+
+## How to Use Now
+
+### Option 1: Use Environment Variables (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+export LITELLM_BASE_URL="https://llm.ai.pivoine.art/v1"
+export LITELLM_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+
+# Just run - no config needed!
+./llmx-rs/target/release/llmx "hello world"
+```
+
+### Option 2: Use Config File
+
+Config at `~/.llmx/config.toml` (already created):
+```toml
+model_provider = "litellm"  # Optional - this is now the default!
+model = "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514"
+```
+
+### Option 3: Override via CLI
+
+```bash
+./llmx-rs/target/release/llmx -m "openai/gpt-4" "hello"
+```
+
+## What This Fixes
+
+✅ No more `prompt_cache_key` errors
+✅ Correct API endpoint (`/v1/chat/completions`)
+✅ Works with LiteLLM proxy out of the box
+✅ No manual provider configuration needed
+✅ Config file is now optional (defaults work)
+

+## Testing
+
+Try this now:
+```bash
+export LITELLM_BASE_URL="https://llm.ai.pivoine.art/v1"
+export LITELLM_API_KEY="your-key"
+./llmx-rs/target/release/llmx "say hello"
+```
+
+Should work without any 400 errors!
