Cost Optimization

A hands-on TypeScript tutorial on Anthropic prompt caching. Build a cache-aware request planner, audit for silent invalidators, and measure real savings from the usage fields, offline and fully tested.

A complete hands-on tutorial for routing prompts to the cheapest capable LLM in TypeScript. Build a classifier, a model registry, a fallback ladder, and per-request cost telemetry that survives the May 2026 price war.

Google priced Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite at $0.25 per million input tokens — fast enough for production agentic workloads and cheap enough to make the price axis the new competitive front. Meta's Muse Spark is positioned the same way. Anthropic is choosing the opposite. The bifurcation is now visible in API spend, in agent-loop economics, and in the architectural decisions teams are making about which model to call where.
