Using the built-in LiteLLM integration, you can drop in Claude, GPT-4o, or basically any model with a LiteLLM provider prefix — without touching your agent architecture. In this part, we swap Gemini for Claude Haiku and build a DevOps assistant to prove it.\n\nEnjoy free access via this friend [link ](/fe88acee24d8?sk=94923afbbaf2a6286b11cc649d330714)— no membership required.\n\n### Why Would You Even Want a Non-Gemini Model in ADK?\n\nHere’s a scenario I run into a lot: a client’s DevOps team is standardized on Claude across their tooling — maybe it’s already wired into their IDE, their code review bots, their internal chat assistant — and now they want an ADK agent for troubleshooting infrastructure issues. Telling them “sure, but you’ll need to use Gemini for this one” is a hard sell, and honestly, it shouldn’t be necessary.\n\nGemini is fast, cheap at scale, and deeply integrated with the rest of the Google Cloud ecosystem — I use it as the default in most of my agents for exactly those reasons. But “default” isn’t “only option,” and production systems rarely stay single-vendor forever. Sometimes it’s a client mandate. Sometimes you want to A/B a reasoning-heavy task across…", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/one-line-any-model-multi-provider-agents-in-google-adk-via-litellm", "canonical_source": "https://pub.towardsai.net/one-line-any-model-multi-provider-agents-in-google-adk-via-litellm-fe88acee24d8?source=rss----98111c9905da---4", "published_at": "2026-07-12 21:31:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-12 22:10:08.598889+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "developer-tools", "ai-agents", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["Google ADK", "LiteLLM", "Claude", "GPT-4o", "Gemini", "Claude Haiku"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/one-line-any-model-multi-provider-agents-in-google-adk-via-litellm", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/one-line-any-model-multi-provider-agents-in-google-adk-via-litellm.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/one-line-any-model-multi-provider-agents-in-google-adk-via-litellm.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/one-line-any-model-multi-provider-agents-in-google-adk-via-litellm.jsonld"}}
