Optimizing Input Token Usage in API Conversations

Hello everyone,

I am currently using the API and I’m wondering if there is a way to reduce the number of input tokens. During a typical conversation with the API, the input tokens tend to be too extensive, so I’m seeking a solution to this issue.

I haven’t tried it, but it could be a start if you don’t intend to roll your own solution :thinking:

Welcome to the forum.

Great tools by @stevenic

Try paring down the system prompt small enough so that it still works.

If you share the prompts, we can probably help tighten them up.

Moving this to Prompting category.
