AI Cost Monitoring
30 minMonthly
Format: Design a cost monitoring plan for AI features.
What you need to track:
- Daily/weekly/monthly API call counts
- Average token consumption per call
- Average AI cost per user
- Cost trends (increasing or decreasing?)
- Which feature is the most expensive?
Cost Optimization Strategies:
| Strategy | Savings | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Use a smaller model | 60-70% | Simple tasks with Haiku |
| Cache similar requests | 50-80% | FAQ-type questions |
| Reduce context length | 20-40% | Streamline system prompts |
| Batch processing | 30-50% | Non-real-time tasks |
| Set user quotas | - | Prevent abuse |
