LLM context costs challenge .NET developers; optimization strategies outlined

For .NET developers using Azure OpenAI, managing the cost and latency associated with large context windows is crucial. The quadratic scaling of attention mechanisms means that doubling prompt length can quadruple expenses and significantly increase response times. This article provides a playbook for optimizing token usage, including strategies like prompt trimming, KV cache reuse, and semantic chunking, to maintain predictable budgets and meet service level agreements.
