LLM cost optimization dashboard

Create a tool to visualize and optimize LLM API costs. For developers using multiple models.

Why now

As teams experiment with multiple LLMs, they need better ways to track and compare costs across providers.

Who for
LLM developers
Business model
SaaS subscriptions
Effort
A few weeks

Developers using multiple LLM APIs struggle to track spending and compare cost/performance across different models.

Build a dashboard that aggregates usage data from various LLM providers, visualizes costs, and suggests optimizations like model switching or prompt engineering.

Sell to engineering teams as a SaaS product with tiered pricing based on usage volume.

Start by supporting OpenAI and Anthropic APIs with basic cost tracking.

Risk: Major providers might build this in-house, making a standalone tool unnecessary.
