Cost Optimization

Domain: Prompt Engineering

🎯 Motivation

Every token costs money. Optimizing prompts (shorter, fewer examples, efficient templates) reduces cost without sacrificing quality.

📋 Concrete Example

If each API call costs 100/day. Reducing prompt length by 30% saves 11,000 saved.

🔗 Analogy

Fuel efficiency in driving - driving smoothly, removing excess weight, and planning routes saves fuel. Cost optimization in prompting saves tokens (fuel) by being efficient.
