Discussion: Senior Software Engineer discussing LLM scaling costs | 0708-1311

Great read on the scaling challenges. We ran into the same issue with prompt bloat eating up our margins. We ended up building a middleware proxy that handles semantic compression before hitting the LLM—managed to shave about 40-50% off our OpenAI bill without changing our core logic. Might be worth looking into if you're hitting those high token counts.
