A developer has shared strategies for reducing the cost and latency of Large Language Model (LLM) inference, particularly when using Anthropic's models. The core recommendation is to meticulously log the cost and time spent per request, broken down by feature or task, rather than just by model. This detailed logging allows for targeted optimization efforts. A key technique proposed is prompt caching, which involves structuring prompts so that stable, unchanging parts (like instructions and tool definitions) appear before dynamic elements, enabling the model to reuse previously processed information and significantly cut down on both cost and latency.
