# LLM cost-cutting playbook (work top to bottom)

## 0. Measure first
- [ ] Log cost per request with feature + prompt version; find the top 3 features by spend
- [ ] Know your input:output token ratio per feature (output tokens cost more)

## 1. Quick wins (hours)
- [ ] Cap max_tokens; ask for concise answers ("max 3 sentences", bullet points)
- [ ] Trim chat history (summarize old turns); send top-3 chunks, not top-20
- [ ] Order prompts static-first so prefix caching hits
      Savings ≈ prefix_share × (1 − cache_read_multiplier). Example: 90% prefix, 0.1× reads → ~81% off input
