AI Services Cost Control Practice Guide
An effective way to manage API expenses through Chatika:
- Usage Monitoring System: Setting usage alerts (e.g. $5 threshold per month) in platforms such as OpenAI, Chatika itself does not incur costs but passes on API calls.
- Model Selection Strategy: Use gpt-3.5-turbo ($0.002/1k tokens) for daily conversations, and switch gpt-4 for important tasks.
- Local model substitution: Install open source models such as LLaMA to run locally, which is slightly less powerful but completely free.
Cost optimization tips: Enable "concise reply" mode in Chatika settings to effectively reduce token consumption; let AI generate an outline before querying in sections when processing long documents. Regularly review chat history and delete invalid conversations to save resources.
