The original title is "How to get more from your chatbot for less [P]"

Short summary

Cut chatbot and AI API costs by up to 60% by routing requests through pretrained classifiers instead of full tokenization. This post provides real-world cost-reduction patterns and a practical recipe for training your own prompt-routing classifier without major refactoring. Core insight: move from tokenmaxxing (processing all inputs) to tokenminning (intelligent selective routing).

• •Routing with pretrained classifiers reduces API costs by 60%
• •Real-world patterns and training recipe provided, no major refactoring needed
• •Shift from tokenmaxxing to tokenminning as core optimization strategy
