A developer significantly reduced AI pipeline costs by 25% without sacrificing accuracy, primarily by optimizing model usage and configuration rather than switching to a cheaper model. Key strategies included leveraging tool choice and tightening output schemas to improve Sonnet's performance to match Opus's previous accuracy at a lower cost. Further savings were achieved by adjusting Anthropic's 'xhigh' adaptive thinking setting and reducing the default `max_tokens` parameter, which had been set conservatively high. AI
IMPACT Optimizing LLM configurations like `max_tokens` and `tool_choice` can yield significant cost savings without impacting accuracy.
