A software development team significantly reduced their large language model (LLM) expenses by implementing a multi-provider routing strategy. This approach directs requests to the most cost-effective and performant available endpoint, rather than relying on a single provider. Additionally, the team implemented caching for repeated embedding requests and deterministic processing steps, further cutting down on redundant calls and improving reliability by dynamically switching providers during outages.
