What you'll learn

How to find which calls are burning your budget

Most of the cost comes from a few call patterns. Find them before you optimize anything.

How to route easy cases to a cheaper model

Not every request needs your most expensive model. Learn where to draw the line.

How to verify quality did not drop after the switch

A cheaper setup is only a win if the output holds. Check it before you commit.

Why this topic matters

Inference cost climbs quietly until someone looks at the invoice. Most teams then either accept it or downgrade everything and hope nothing breaks. This session covers how to find where the money actually goes, move the easy cases to a cheaper model, and confirm that output quality held up.
