Strategies to reduce LLM inference cost while improving performance.

Key points
01

Three-layer strategy: Combines prompt adaptation, LLM approximation, and LLM cascading to save cost.

02

Model cascade: Routes easy queries to cheap models and escalates to expensive models only when needed.

03

Cost reduction: Shows 98% cost savings while sometimes improving accuracy over using the most expensive model always.

04

Production patterns: Influenced production LLM routing patterns and the 2024 ecosystem of LLM routers (RouteLLM, Martian).
