Cache semantically similar queries so duplicate requests don't consume new LLM tokens. Can reduce costs by 20-40% for common use cases.
Long system prompts run on every request. Trim and compress your system prompts — saving 200 tokens per request becomes significant at scale.
If you have predictable volume, reserved token pricing can deliver 20-30% savings vs. pay-per-use rates across all major providers.
Break down AI costs by product feature, user type, and query type. You can't optimize what you don't measure — set up cost dashboards now.
