Building LLM Applications for Production

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Comprehensive guide to production LLM challenges covering prompt engineering, evaluation, cost analysis, latency, fine-tuning vs prompting tradeoffs, and testing strategies.

Deployment to Production

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Take AI applications from prototype to production. This path covers the full deployment journey across providers: production checklists, rate limit management, batch processing for cost reduction, and agent-specific deployment patterns.

The key cross-provider insight: every provider has rate limits, batch APIs, and deployment recommendations, but the specifics differ meaningfully. Learning both OpenAI and Anthropic patterns helps you design resilient systems, and understanding framework deployment (LangGraph, CrewAI) is essential for agent-based applications.

Cost Optimization

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Minimize AI application costs without sacrificing quality. This path covers the complete cost optimization toolkit: model selection, token counting, prompt caching, and batch processing — comparing approaches across Anthropic and OpenAI.

The key insight: cost optimization is not about using cheaper models everywhere. It’s about matching the right model to each task, caching repeated content, batching non-urgent work, and measuring token usage to eliminate waste. A well-optimized pipeline using GPT-4o-mini + caching can cost less than a naive GPT-3.5 implementation.

AI Landscape for Product Leaders

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A non-technical introduction to the AI provider landscape for product managers, executives, and business leaders. This path builds your understanding of what AI models can do, how they’re priced, and how to think about provider selection — without requiring any coding knowledge.

By the end of this path, you’ll be able to: evaluate AI provider options, understand cost structures for budgeting, and frame build-vs-buy decisions for your organization. You’ll have the vocabulary and mental models to discuss AI capabilities with your engineering team and present AI strategy to leadership.

AI Vendor & Platform Evaluation

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A systematic framework for evaluating AI providers, platforms, and build-vs-buy decisions. This path equips technical leaders with the analytical tools to compare vendors across capability, cost, deployment, and strategic dimensions — going beyond feature matrices to assess lock-in risk, deployment flexibility, and long-term platform strategy.

By the end of this path, you’ll be able to: build comparative cost models across providers, structure vendor evaluation around the accuracy-latency-cost tradeoff triangle, assess deployment topology requirements, and frame build-vs-buy recommendations with supporting market data.

AI Cost Modeling & Unit Economics

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A practical guide to AI cost modeling and unit economics for technical leaders who need to build defensible financial projections. This path bridges the gap between per-token API pricing and board-level business cases, covering macro AI economics, provider pricing structures, token consumption drivers, optimization levers, and ROI frameworks.

By the end of this path, you’ll be able to: build per-query cost models for AI features, project AI infrastructure costs at scale, identify the highest-impact cost optimization levers (which are architecture decisions, not tuning exercises), and construct ROI analyses that connect engineering costs to business value.

Cost tracking

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Cost Tracking

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Cost tracking in agentic workflows is substantially more complex than single-call API usage because agents make multiple model calls, tool invocations, and potentially spawn sub-agents — all of which accumulate tokens. This guide shows how to instrument the Agent SDK to capture per-turn and per-agent cost breakdowns. Focus on the callback hooks that expose token counts at each step, as these are the foundation for building budget limits and alerting. Without proactive cost tracking, a single runaway agent loop can consume your entire API budget in minutes, making this essential reading before any production deployment.

Pricing

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Understanding AI pricing is critical for any build-vs-buy decision. Anthropic charges per token (roughly per word) with different rates for input and output, and prices vary dramatically between model tiers — Haiku can be 50x cheaper than Opus per token. The practical implication: a customer support chatbot handling 10,000 conversations per day might cost $50/month with Haiku or $2,500/month with Opus, so model selection directly impacts unit economics. Pay attention to prompt caching and batch API discounts, which can cut costs by 50-90% for predictable workloads. Compare these structures with OpenAI and Mistral pricing to understand the competitive landscape before committing to a provider.

Token Counting

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The token-counting endpoint matters for cost control because it lets you measure exactly how many input tokens a request will consume before you send it, which is essential for budgeting and for staying under context limits. Pay attention to the fact that counts include the system prompt, tools, and images, not just the visible message text — an easy-to-miss source of surprise spend. Use it to validate prompt-caching savings and to size batches safely. Unlike OpenAI’s client-side tiktoken approach, Anthropic exposes counting as an API call that reflects the exact tokenizer the model uses.
