Reddit thread weighs context management, dynamic routing and prompt caching for LLM cost cuts

A developer on Reddit asks for evaluations of the three most common token cost reduction methods: context window management via orchestration frameworks like LangGraph to avoid memory bloat, dynamic routing via OpenRouter-style routers to offload easy tasks to cheaper models, and prompt caching (OpenAI/Anthropic built-in features) to avoid reprocessing static prompts. The post invites pros/cons and corrections on use cases.
