The REAL cost of LLM (And How to reduce 78%+ of Cost)

[@jasonfinance]

I never got the point of setting up those LLM monitor before, but the step by step guide in the end showing how you use it & how it lead to real cost reduction is gold (70% is crazy!); Will try it out, thank you!

[@que-tangclan]

This is the best AI content I have seen all week. Thank you for this.

[@kguyrampage95]

Bro that's crazyyy, I literally just wrote down notes on reducing costs in different approaches today. I was about to test them out and saw this video in my inbox. damn very on time.

[@timothyspottering]

Hi Jason! another alternative to measure costs in your script is to simply use the chat completions information provided by the api of openai. every time you call the API, it will return the total tokens in the response json in the "usage" dictionary. That way, you can monitor & control your usage as well.

[@christislight]

Exactly what I do!

[@xugefu]

Thanks!

[@Joe-bp5mo]

Didn't realise the cost gap between GPT4 & Open source model like Mixtral is so big! 200x more expensive really change how I think of building LLM products; Thanks for sharing! will definitely try to optimise my LLM apps!

Your content is just superb as always Jason!

[@betun130]

Superb content Jason, I will highly recommend your videos to everyone getting their hands dirty with LLMs. I am gonna try some of these myself. It's a shame I didn't build it before because something like the AI router occurred to me but I do not have the patience to implement these.

[@gsolaich]

We were planning to build ai assistant kind apps but always pull back due to cost it incurs , this is a fabulous video that has given us a new direction to go ahead. Thanks a lot .... looking forward to see other videos

[@ZacMagee]

Love your content man. You have helped me really expand my knowledge and push my boundaries

[@leandroimail]

Tks very much for this video. I have been having problems with the cost of my agents. I will do this tips and clue that you gave. Thks again.

[@oscarcharliezulu]

Excellent video great to hear real world experience from a real Dev

[@serenditymuse]

Excellent. Most of his videos are but this one was especially useful to me.

[@oryxchannel]

See groundswell paper dated Jan 29th 2024: "Towards Optimizing the Costs of LLM Usage." These Indian authors are gonna kick some serious but regarding costs. I see the FrugalGPT paper in your video too. Thank you for offering real world case scenarios of your personal experience. Edit: This video is a trove on frugal LLM building. Awesome job!

[@AIJasonZ]

Thank you!

[@shervintheprodigy6402]

This is a great video! Exactly what I was looking for!

[@chengchangyu]

A step by step build of an agent architecture would be very helpful. I am looking forward of it.

[@Beloved_Digital]

I am a newbie when it comes to build AI powered apps. Although i don't fully understand all you say because i am still learning the basics all i can say is Thank you for sharing this valuable contents with us

[@holdingW0]

[@Max-zy2ie]

When building multi agent orchestration systems, what is your preferred stack? Do you use langchain, autogen or just native APIs?

[@taylorthompson4212]

This video came at the perfect time. Thank you

[@AnshTiwari-fx2yq]

ikr, grateful to Jason

[@clamhammer2463]

I had this idea for LLM routing a while back and wondered why nobody has done it. I figured there was some sort of information I didnt have that was stopping it.

[@TimBnb]

Cette chaîne est la meilleure école existante à ce jour. Merci Jason

[@misterloafer5021]

Yes, please do a video on multi agent methods

[@matten_zero]

This is the biggest flex ever! 💪I can only dream to be as cool of an AI Engineer as you. I thought building a digital agent with automatic voice that can do RAG was cool. There are levels to this game an Jason is on a whole different world. Thanks for posting these videos. It's educational, funny and inspirational for me.

[@nicechannel9720]

A great dive into the cost of Al models as it is hard to find related content. Can you do a video about how much Openai is roughly spending on computaion cost and also how this constraint will hinder the adaptation of these models in the enterprise space. Great job man 👍

[@addisobi772]

Great Jason , You have help me understanding alot

[@JimMendenhall]

Thanks for sharing your insights from your work. It's very helpful!

[@gabrieleguo]

Thanks Jason, your content is always on point and very insightful. Keep it up man!

[@matten_zero]

I've done that before @18:46. It works pretty well esp when you combine with SPR (popularized by David Shapiro).

[@mattbegley1345]

Excellent!👍 Applying that Assistant Hierarchy to your Sales Agent would be a good video.

[@nikilragav]

14:56 - seems like this might not work well for needle in haystack approaches, right? Because if you want to ask "what departments were present at this session?" the bigger model does not have an answer to that in its context. You'd need some kind of vector similarity check first to assess whether the answer might even exist in the context given to the bigger model? And if not, give the whole thing? Or at least do some RAG-style look up and fetch? I'm not so sure how well RAG can do needle in haystack searching though. Seems highly dependent on your embedding model, and openAI doesn't have an option to use GPT4 embedding space, right?

[@momentumsoftio]

You can also use natural language processing lemmatization to convert words into their lemma, or root word, to reduce the content "weight" or token count. You don't need the extra word garbage like suffixes. LLMs do a good job of extracting meaning from lemmatized content. Its like you are cutting through the syntactic sugar of the English language and getting to the root meaning and not wasting the LLMs time

[@PhilosophyOfSelf]

Excellent video! I just ran into issues with memory for conversations and I really like the strategies you've offered in this. Thank you.

[@the-ghost-in-the-machine1108]

this was an intense, highly informative lecture. Thanks Jason, appreciate your work!

[@kguyrampage95]

at 8:05 you made an obvious mistake with the maths, your probably meant the cheapest model not mistral. since it would 50x cheaper not 214x cheaper

[@AIJasonZ]

Ahh I highlight the wrong row, if should be mistral 7b, thanks for spotting this mate!

[@kguyrampage95]

@@AIJasonZ Hey this video was great by the way! I am learning to make video to showcase some my experiments and I am hoping I can produce as much quality as you!

[@MrTalhakamran2006]

Thank you Jason for your hard work to put this together.

[@omarzidan6840]

We love you Jason. Thanks a lot!

[@kernsanders3973]

Think what would also work in terms of the agents scenario, in real life there is a moderator between huge disagreements with employees. Which would be their team lead. So the if a disagreement occurs where its multiple replies the TL needs to step in and lay down the rules and law for work and code of conduct and make a final decision on the disagreement.

[@savire.ergheiz]

Sorry to say this but almost all of your mentioning here are based on bad planning and rushing things out without thinking of the after effects. Its not just in AI. Its always been like that since forever if you tried to follow hype. Unless you got backed by big companies or investor planning way ahead with costs is always be a must.

[@MaximIlyin]

Great video, thanks! Why not store Agent conversation memory in embeddings and retrieve only relevant (by cosine similarity) to the current user query as a context? (Like a RAG for conversation memory)

[@yazanrisheh5127]

Hey Jason. You said at around minute 9 that we should use a model like GPT 4 to get data and then use that to fine tune but how much data do we need so that our fine tuned mistral model will be performing as good as gpt 4?

[@GjentiG4]

Great vid! Keep up the good work

Great video! Could you please make a video about putting an llm to the production, with concerns of parallellism, memory and gpu usage, load ballancing, effective software artitechure? How to scale up a local llm to be accessible world wide like gpt, with optimizing memory and resources in mind? THanks

[@headrobotics]

For fine tuning a small model from a large one, what about OpenAI terms of service? Has it changed to allow?

[@rchaumais]

Many thanks for your useful video. Have you evaluated Nemo from Nvidia ?

[@noodjetpacker9502]

I don’t know if this is a stupid question but why doesn’t ChatGPT already implement these features for themselves? Or do they already do these?

[@aiforsocialbenefit]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you!

[@roke4025]

🎉 Brilliant mate. I’m a fiend for compressing costs to maximum, but I found out that during cost compression some models (eg. Mistral tiny) are not able to make proper custom tool calls and are unable to extract out the JSON response result from the tool call. As soon as a switch is made to an OpenAI model fine tuned to recognise json schemas, tool calls work perfectly (in Flowise). Is that why you persist in using OpenAI models in your calls? As opposed to using a Mistral or Llama inference? So you can achieve the right tool calling?

[@prestonmccauley43]

What other services have you found for deployment that are cost friendly? You have to install vms containers and more

[@vinitvsankhe]

But what if I need an AI that needs to be trained with one data snapshot?

[@Ryan-yj4sd]

Fine tuning for token reduction is a key technique I’ve used

[@mjkbird]

Isn't it against OpenAI's ToS to use the output as training data?

[@hackerborabora7212]

If you use the big ones like azure bedrock etc, they are so expensive on deploy with the compute

[@joshuahsu5589]

Would love a deeper dive into Ecoassistant. In a couple of weeks, we're about to look at some optimization strategies! Thank you!

[@WaxN-ey6vj]

Since GPT development is rapid, I think making fine-turning model is risky due to time consuming. The cost won’t be a big deal as Open AI constantly develops a new model and reduces the cost of previous one.

[@tks5182]

Would appreciate a course or even a comment on what knowledge you need and what concepts you should know to be an AI & ML Engineer

Prompt Engineer and LLM developer here. GPT4 32k is not the most powerful model, it is outclassed by GPT-4- preview-1106 and now GPT-4-preview-0125 which is even better. Not only is GPT-4-32k worse, it is also 6 times more expensive ! ($0.06/1k token for GPT 4 32k, and only $0.01/1k token for gpt-4-preview-0125)

[@LaelAl-Halawani-c4l]

That's not true that's a 'new type of cost'. Traditional software companies always need to care and look out for API costs. Anyone who used gdloud or aws racked up some unexpectedly high API costs one way or the other. You can also set some spending limits in your API settings on OpenAI platform.

[@nufh]

[@sanesanyo]

Can someone please explain me how GPT4 32k is more powerful than GPT 4 128k Turbo? I thought GPT 4 128k Turbo was the best Open AI model.

[@ryzikx]

its not idk why he says that

[@AIJasonZ]

In my experience, gpt4 turbo is faster, cheaper, however, less stable performance & a bit “dumber” than. Gpt4 32k; E.g. when I build agents, I found gpt4 turbo often ignore some instructions & forget doing some steps; while using 32k the performance is much more stable
