Cost Optimization for LLM Applications in Production

LLM bills grow with every token, and most applications waste many of them. This guide breaks a request's cost into its parts, measures prompt caching and output length on a local model, then prices five options for a month of traffic using published list rates, from no changes to a cached small model.

Cost Optimization for ML Workloads in the Cloud

Most of an ML cloud bill comes from three decisions: how capacity is bought, how fully it is used and how efficiently each prediction is made. With live Azure prices and two real models, this guide shows reservations and spot cutting prices by 38 to 82%, and an always-on VM costing seven times its compute.
