Cost drivers

  • "Generate personalized recommendation summary" is the largest cost driver

    high

    Accounts for 80% of total estimated monthly cost ($56.38).

    A single step dominating cost means small changes to it move the whole budget.

    Suggested fix: Consider a smaller model, a lower max output length, or caching for this step first.

    Potential savings: about $16.91/month

  • "Evaluate response quality" evaluates every request

    medium

    Evaluation step runs on 100% of requests.

    Evals add a full extra model call to every request just for quality monitoring.

    Suggested fix: Sample evaluations (e.g. 10-20% of traffic) instead of running on every request.

    Potential savings: about $10.94/month
