Summarize Chat History to Cut LLM Costs by 60%

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Startups using LLMs can reduce context window costs by up to 60% by summarizing conversation history instead of replaying full dialogues. Extractive or abstractive summarization algorithms help maintain context while cutting tokens processed by 30-50%. This approach also improves response times by 20-40% and retains 80% of key information.

Meridian48 take
