Three Sources of Savings:

  1. 1.BYOK no token markup—you pay providers at standard rates, GateLLM takes no middle cut (aggregators typically add platform and payment fees on top of list price);
  2. 2.Composition—open SOTA models (GLM / Qwen / DeepSeek) carry the bulk of execution (classification, extraction, translation), top-tier closed models (like Claude Opus) only for planning and hard reasoning;
  3. 3.Prompt caching—high-frequency calls hit cache, unit price drops 50%–90%.

Figures are illustrative models based on public pricing, actual savings depend on business scenarios and mix ratios. Pro license fee of $400/mo (2GB single instance) is included in GateLLM plan.
