OpenAI cost reduction guide
Reduce OpenAI costs before the API call
The fastest way to reduce OpenAI spend is to stop sending tokens the model does not need. SuperCompress compiles long context around the current question before the API call.
Where your OpenAI costs come from
With GPT-4o at $2.50/1M input tokens, a typical agent making 1,000 calls/day with 4,000-token prompts spends ~$10/day on input tokens. Compressing by 65% drops that to ~$3.50/day.

Frequently asked questions
Will compression work with OpenAI streaming?
