Frequently Asked Questions
How much can prompt optimization reduce token usage?
Typical optimizations save 10-25% of tokens. Aggressive optimization (system prompt + few-shot reduction) can save 30-50%. Model downgrade saves 85%+ but affects quality.
What's the easiest optimization to implement?
Remove redundant instructions, eliminate example explanations, use structured formats (JSON instead of prose). These typically save 10-15% with minimal effort.
Does optimization affect output quality?
Usually no with careful optimization. Test with A/B testing on representative samples. Some quality metrics (length, creativity) may change. Validate before production rollout.
