Implementation Steps

  1. Track cost per 1K tokens for each provider: input vs output token pricing.
  2. Set budget thresholds with alert escalation: 80% warning, 90% critical.
  3. Calculate routing savings: model replacement potential percentages with confidence levels.
  4. Feed cost insights into contract re-negotiation and provider pricing benchmark updates.
