LLM-powered applications with cost control.

Performance0%100%82%Excellent

Pain points we solve

LLM costs spiral—per-request expenses unpredictable and hard to optimize

Prompt iteration cycles—trial-and-error consuming engineering time

Latency variability—streaming inconsistent across edge regions

Hallucinations and out-of-distribution responses creating support tickets

How we build

We architect AI apps with streaming responses from OpenAI or Anthropic, prompt versioning and A/B testing, real-time token and cost tracking per user and feature, RAG pipelines for grounding, and safety classifiers. Your cost-per-completion stays under your target.

Questions

How do you keep LLM costs under control?

Caching, prompt compression, and model selection. We use Claude 3.5 Haiku for simple tasks (90% cheaper), Sonnet for medium complexity, and Opus only when necessary. Per-user cost budgets with hard cutoffs prevent bill shock.

Can you build RAG systems?

Yes. Supabase pgvector for embeddings, Upstash Redis for semantic cache hits, and chunked document ingestion. Typical RAG reduces hallucination by 70% compared to zero-shot prompting.

Do you handle streaming to the frontend?

Fully. We use Server-Sent Events for real-time token streaming, progressive rendering on the client, and graceful fallback if the stream breaks mid-response.

What about fine-tuning models on our data?

We manage the pipeline: dataset curation, train-test splits, and controlled fine-tuning. But for most use cases, prompt engineering with RAG outperforms fine-tuning at 1/10th the cost.
