Cost at scale

API reliability and SLAs

For production business workflows, uptime and SLAs matter. OpenAI and Anthropic both offer enterprise tiers with priority access and SLAs. Evaluate based on your team's existing cloud relationships (Azure for OpenAI, AWS Bedrock for Claude).

Prompt caching for cost control

Both Claude and GPT-4o support prompt caching, which can reduce costs by 80-90% for applications that reuse the same system prompt. At scale, this is the single biggest cost lever.
