Why it matters

Long prompts burn cash and slow responses. Trim them and you unlock faster answers plus real savings you can showcase.

Three-step slimming ritual

  1. Measure - Paste live prompts into the LLM cost calculator to spot bloat.
  2. Streamline - Move boilerplate into a shared system prompt and send only fresh context.
  3. Summarise - Let GPT-4o mini recap threads before you escalate to a premium model.

Lead-ready proof points

  • Every 500 trimmed tokens saves roughly $6 on GPT-5 and keeps latency low.
  • Customers stay longer when answers land quicker - flag that in your retention review.
  • LLM Cost Optimizer tracks before-and-after usage so finance sees the win instantly.
