SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams prevent runaway LLM costs while still delivering strong output quality by routing requests to the right model and enforcing budget limits.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Model routing by task complexity to send simple requests to cheaper models and complex requests to more capable ones.
  • Immutable cost tracking using frozen records so every call is auditable and state changes are predictable.
  • Narrow retry logic that retries only transient failures (e.g., rate limits or server/network issues) and fails fast on permanent errors.
  • Prompt caching to avoid resending large, repeatable prompts and to reduce both cost and latency.
  • Use Case: Processing a batch of mixed-complexity inputs (short summaries, medium analyses, and long documents) while staying under a fixed monthly or per-job budget.

Quick Start

Use the cost-aware-llm-pipeline to process your mixed-complexity inputs while automatically selecting models, enforcing a budget limit, retrying only transient failures, and caching reusable prompt parts to reduce cost.

FAQPage Schema
How do I control LLM API costs in production pipelines with mixed-complexity inputs?▼

Prompt caching minimizes token usage by avoiding the resending of large, repeatable prompt segments. This reduces both cost and latency for production workloads processing variable input sizes and item counts.

What is the best retry logic strategy for LLM API failures in batch processing?▼

The best retry strategy targets only transient errors like rate limits or network issues with backoff, failing fast on permanent errors. This prevents unnecessary retry loops and wasted API calls in production pipelines.

How do I track LLM spending per call for audit purposes?▼

You can track LLM spending using immutable cost accounting records that freeze the cost data per call. This makes every API request auditable and ensures state changes remain predictable across batch workloads.

Does model routing by task complexity work for batch workloads with a fixed budget?▼

Prompt caching minimizes token usage by avoiding the resending of large, repeatable prompt segments. This reduces both cost and latency for production workloads processing variable input sizes and item counts.
