Looking to learn from people building in AI!

Hi everyone! My name is Nicole and I've been working/building in tokens for a while now (both in Crypto and then in LLMs). I wanted to pop in here to introduce myself as I'm genuinely very excited about token economics and would love to learn from people here!

Two things I'd genuinely love to talk to people here about:

1/ How cognizant are you about the AI token costs (API credit spend) on your product or platform? And if so, at what point did you start worrying about those costs?

2/ What's the approximate API credit spend on your platforms? I'm wondering what methods there are to still ensure quality but also reduce costs per API request. What is the opinion of others to outsource cost reduction (rather than taking it in-house) with a third-party gateway?

If either of these two questions intrigue you, I'd love to get in contact!
