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.

Hi HN, I was once given the advice: Don't waste expensive frontier model credits (GPT/Claude/etc.) on bulk work. Send the boring, repetitive, high-volume jobs to a smaller model, and save the expensive prompts for when you actually need frontier-level reasoning. I complained and told my manager that I shouldnt have to think about using certain models for certain coding tasks, and that one model should handle everything. Well, here we are anyway. If anyone needs a place to absolutely abuse an LLM with high-volume tasks, come beat ours up at https://yolo-auto.com. Here are…

Hello HN! We're building a caching solution for LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude). By combining cutting-edge approaches, such as edge computing, prompt compression, vectorization, and others - it can reduce your AI bills by up to 10x and significantly lower response times. Key Features: - cost efficiency: our system stores frequent queries, reducing the number of upstream (paid) API calls - fast responses: with various nodes globally, we reduce latency by serving data from the nearest location - scalability: designed to handle increasing loads and data sizes without degrading performance. The cache…
