LLM Cost

What is LLM Cost?

LLM cost is the total spend to train or—more often—run large language models in production: input/output tokens, embedding calls, tool traffic, retries, and the infra around them.

Teams cut cost with smaller models, caching, prompt compression, and smarter routing—but cheaper paths can degrade quality or safety. Re-run evals after every cost optimization.

Keep quality when you cut LLM spend

After routing or prompt changes, re-run your Giskard suite so savings do not silently regress safety or accuracy. Learn more.
