Cost optimisation for FDEs
Quick answer
Keeping model, cloud and engineering spend in line with value. A deployment that works but costs too much will not be renewed.
Practise it
- 1. Cache repeated model calls
- 2. Route easy requests to a smaller model
- 3. Report cost per resolved task
Where it sits
Stage 5 of the roadmap: Customer discovery. You can turn a vague brief into scope, a design and a plan a client signs.
