LLM Cost Optimization

LLM cost optimization includes: model selection (cheaper smaller models), prompt caching, batch processing, reducing input tokens, and code optimization. Semantic caching stores results to avoid recomputation. Prompt compression reduces tokens. Right-sizing models matters—don't use large models for simple tasks. Cost optimization can reduce bills 50%+. Optimization requires measuring and iterating. Cost-conscious teams implement multiple strategies.
