print(f"response: {response}")
```

## LiteLLM Proxy Usage

### Add model to config

```yaml
model_list:
- model_name: nova-2
  litellm_params:
    model: deepgram/nova-2
    api_key: os.environ/DEEPGRAM_API_KEY
  model_info:
    mode: audio_transcription
    
general_settings:
  master_key: sk-1234
```
