💡 How to Cut Your AI API Bill
Switch Models
Most tasks don't need GPT-5 or Claude Opus. Use GPT-5 mini or DeepSeek V4 Pro for 60-80% savings with comparable quality.
Reduce Tokens
Shorter prompts, tighter instructions, and structured output reduce token counts. Use "JSON mode" instead of asking for verbose responses.
Batch Requests
Process multiple items in a single API call instead of one-by-one. Reduces per-request overhead and can qualify for batch discounts.
Cache Responses
Store results for repeated queries. If 30% of your requests are duplicates, you save 30% instantly with a simple cache layer.
Route Intelligently
Use the cheapest model that works. Simple Q&A → DeepSeek V4 Flash. Complex reasoning → GPT-5. Code generation → Claude Sonnet 4.6.
Monitor & Optimize
Track your actual usage patterns. Most teams overpay because they don't know which models they're actually using and for what.
