Cloudflare significantly reduced its AI code review inference costs by 68%, from $2.46 to $0.77 per review. This was achieved through a combination of optimizing prompt caching, eliminating unnecessary model calls, and strategically stepping down model complexity where quality was maintained. The most impactful change was improving the cache hit rate from an average of 85.7% to over 91%, which alone accounted for a substantial portion of the savings. These optimizations also led to a dramatic decrease in median review time and an increase in actionable findings. AI
