Context trimming

Keep only relevant history and retrieved chunks.

Model routing

Use the cheapest model that meets quality thresholds.

Prompt caching

Reuse stable prefixes and repeated queries.

Output constraints

Force structured, shorter responses.

Retry reduction

Validate outputs and avoid repeated failed calls.

Batch processing

Move non-urgent jobs to batch workflows.
