Tips to reduce cost

  • Use prompt caching to reuse repeated system prompts
  • Trim whitespace and reduce verbose instructions
  • Use a smaller model for classification or routing tasks
  • Batch async requests to get 50% discount (OpenAI/Anthropic)
  • Cache identical requests at the application layer
