💰 Pricing Strategies

Understand AI pricing models and strategies to optimize costs while maintaining performance.

Example: Cost Optimization

Use model cascading - try cheaper models first, escalate to expensive ones only when needed.

Pay-per-token (most common)
Subscription tiers
Enterprise agreements

Cost optimization strategies for different scales of AI deployment.

                            Cost Optimization Tips
                            Cache Responses: Store common queries to reduce API calls
Batch Processing: Group requests for better rates
Model Cascading: Try cheaper models first, escalate if needed
Prompt Optimization: Shorter, efficient prompts save tokens
Rate Limiting: Implement quotas to control costs

🔧 Integration & Best Practices

🚀

Getting Started

Start using AI APIs with simple steps: get API keys, install SDKs, and make your first API call.

Sign up → Get API key → Install SDK → Make first call → Handle response

Sign up for provider account
Generate API key
Install SDK (pip install openai)
Make first API call
Handle responses

Build robust AI integrations with error handling, retries, and monitoring.

Security & Compliance

Essential security practices for AI API usage including key management and data privacy.

Never hardcode API keys → Use environment variables → Implement rate limiting

Never hardcode API keys
Use environment variables
Implement rate limiting
Sanitize user inputs
Monitor for abuse

Implement comprehensive security measures for AI applications in production.

                            Security Checklist
                            ✅ API key rotation policy
✅ Request/response encryption
✅ Input validation and sanitization
✅ Output filtering for PII
✅ Audit logging
✅ Access control (RBAC)
✅ Compliance monitoring (GDPR, HIPAA)
