Cause (Documented platform behavior): LiteLLM infers provider from the 'provider/model' prefix or its model registry; unknown combinations raise this error.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Unknowns:
- Correct slug for Together in #9789 not stated in the fetched issue.
Other error fragments:
- Unmapped LLM provider for this endpoint. You passed model=togetherai/gpt-3.5-turbo, custom_llm_provider=togetherai.

- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BerriAI/litellm/main/litellm/litellm_core_utils/get_llm_provider_logic.py (official_docs, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): get_llm_provider builds the 'LLM Provider NOT provided... Pass model as E.g. completion(model=huggingface/starcoder)' error when the provider cannot be determined.
