Description

We need to investigate and implement better token management strategies to help reduce API costs. This is becoming increasingly important as usage scales.

Current Situation

Currently, our token management might not be optimized for cost efficiency, potentially leading to:

  • Unnecessary token usage in requests
  • Inefficient context management
  • Higher than necessary API costs

Proposed Investigation Areas

  • Analyse current token usage patterns
  • Research token optimization strategies
  • Implement context window management
  • Consider caching mechanisms for repeated queries
  • Explore prompt compression techniques
  • Investigate streaming vs. batch processing trade-offs

Expected Outcomes

  • Reduced API costs whilst maintaining functionality
  • Better understanding of token usage patterns
  • Implementation of cost-saving measures
  • Documentation of best practices for token management

Additional Notes

This investigation should help us make hikari-desktop more sustainable and cost-effective in the long run! 💖
