A developer details a strategy to reduce Large Language Model (LLM) costs by 30% through context pruning in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. The approach, implemented for an AI gold trading system called FarahGPT, addresses issues of irrelevant data inflating token counts and slowing down responses. By combining semantic similarity for initial retrieval with targeted keyword extraction for fine-grained pruning, the system ensures more relevant information is fed to models like Claude and OpenAI, leading to improved answer quality, faster response times, and reduced hallucinations.
