    The LLM providers are constantly adding new models and updating their API prices. Anyone building AI applications knows that these prices are very important to their bottom line. The only place I am aware of is going to these provider's individual website pages to check the price per token. To solve this inconvenience I spent a few hours making pricepertoken.com which has the latest model's up-to-date prices all in one place. Thinking about adding image models too especially since you have multiple options (fal, replicate) to use the same model and the prices are not always the same.

    I was overspending on GPT-4o. It was really hard to compare different models I could switch to, so I built this LLM comparison tool. It shows leaderboards, pricing, and performance data across 100+ LLMs (including all major providers and open-source models). Key features: - Live pricing comparisons - Benchmark Scores (MMLU, HumanEval, GPQA, etc.) - Context length vs cost analysis - Speed/throughput tests across providers - Quality vs price visualizations - Open source (all data verifiable) Try it out: https://llmstats.com I'd like to know your opinion :) Tech stack: Next.js,…

    I started leaning in on AI heavily this year, as I wanted to get more done autonomously, but then my token usage climbed dramatically to the point where my weekly quota would run out before the end of the week, sometimes a couple of days into the week. I realised I had to do something about it else I'd have to double my spend. So I decided to start tracking my cost per task type. This revealed that a lot of my spend went to searches/scans or simple things like scouting tasks. I then decided to turn this into a simple CLI tool that can be used to read your OpenAI-style logs locally, and…

    Hi HN, I built Orbit to solve a visibility gap in AI cost management. Provider dashboards show aggregate API spend, but don't answer which product feature is driving it. When your bill spikes, you're left guessing whether it's the chatbot, document processor, or an agent workflow running inefficiently. Orbit attributes every LLM call to a specific feature, task, or customer. You wrap your existing AI client with our SDK, tag calls with metadata, and get real-time dashboards showing cost, latency, and error rates broken down by feature. Key capabilities: Per-feature cost and performance…

    Hi, I was a corporate lawyer for many years working with a lot of financial services and insurance companies. In practicing law, I noticed there was a lot of repetition in the tasks I was working on even as a highly paid attorney that could be automated. I wanted to solve the problem of dealing with a lot information and data in a practical way, using AI. This motivated me to start AI Bloks/LLMWare with my husband, who had a deep background in software and is a very early adopter of AI. We have been on this journey with our open source project LLMWare for the past 4 months, producing a…

    Hey, HN community! We've built Argmin AI after shipping LLM features where the demo worked, then the bill and latency got unpredictable in production. Prompts expanded, context grew, retrieval got noisy, retries appeared, and agent workflows added loops. Argmin AI optimizes LLM-related expenses as a system: 1. prompt and context efficiency 2. model selection and routing 3. RAG inefficiencies and caching opportunities 4. agent workflows (tool calls, retries, loop control) Changes are validated with evals and guardrails (tests, gates, judges), tailored to your quality definition and goals.…
