Search engine developer halves latency and cuts costs using TypeSafe Jev

A developer significantly improved the performance and cost-efficiency of their search engine, indiedex.gg, by replacing a DeepSeek extraction model with TypeSafe Jev via OpenRouter's Decisions API. This change reduced latency by approximately 50% and cut costs by about sixfold, while maintaining query resolution quality. The developer highlights this approach as a more suitable pattern for applications requiring natural language input to structured intent conversion, rather than traditional chatbot completions. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates a practical method for reducing LLM operational costs and latency in real-world applications.
