Related concepts

The vocabulary this page depends on.

  • →Agent Cost Control

    Agent cost control is the practice of budgeting tokens, steps and model tiers per task so autonomous systems stay economically viable at scale.

  • →Small Language Model (SLM)

    A language model with roughly 1–15B parameters, small enough to run on a laptop, phone or single GPU while handling narrow tasks well.

  • →Prompt Caching

    Reusing the processed form of a repeated prompt prefix so later requests are cheaper and faster.

  • →Semantic Cache

    A cache that returns a stored LLM answer when a new question means the same thing as an earlier one, even if worded differently.
