A comprehensive guide to optimizing Groq API usage and managing inference costs. Learn techniques such as smart model routing (selecting smaller models for simple tasks), minimizing prompt tokens, batching requests to reduce overhead, and implementing caching for deterministic calls. This guide helps developers achieve significant cost savings and improve system efficiency when handling high-volume AI workloads.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide to understanding OpenRouter's API billing structure. It teaches users how to accurately calculate costs based on prompt (input) and completion (output) tokens. Users can utilize provided scripts to estimate costs, check credit balances, and implement cost-saving strategies like using `:floor` or `:free` model variants. Ideal for budgeting, performance comparison, and production cost tracking.

This guide sets up a fast, cost-effective local development loop for building applications powered by the Anthropic API (Claude). It includes instructions for hot reloading, cost-saving tips (e.g., using Haiku, token limits), and mock client implementation for robust unit testing. It supports both TypeScript/Node.js and Python environments, streamlining the AI development workflow.

This skill automatically routes subtasks to the most cost-effective Claude model (Haiku, Sonnet, or Opus) based on complexity. It logs real token usage and cost per session, and includes an A/B testing feature to validate model tier savings against your actual workload, ensuring accurate cost control.
