We want applications to install fewer dependencies, use less disk space, and spend less time loading the SDK This first step delivers an approximately 65.6 MB reduction in installed disk space, including runtime dependencies, compared with baseline litellm in our source-build comparison. We'll continue building on that progress with further dependency reductions and improvements to how the SDK…
