Cost-saving tips
- Use cached inputs — Anthropic prompt caching cuts input cost ~90% on repeated context.
- Route routine tasks to smaller models (Haiku, GPT-5 Mini, Gemini Flash).
- Batch API is typically 50% off for non-time-sensitive workloads.
- Output is 4–5× pricier than input — keep responses concise and use structured formats.
- Stream responses if you only need the first tokens to start UI render.
- Truncate long context with summarisation passes instead of stuffing everything in.
