FrugalGPT: Better Quality and Lower Cost for LLM Applications

Explore strategies for reducing inference costs and improving accuracy when using Large Language Models (LLMs) in this MLOps Coffee Sessions podcast episode featuring Lingjiao Chen. Dive into the concept of FrugalGPT, a flexible LLM cascade approach that optimizes LLM combinations for different queries. Learn about prompt adaptation, LLM approximation, and LLM cascade techniques to achieve up to 98% cost reduction while matching or surpassing the performance of top-tier models like GPT-4. Gain insights into practical implementation strategies, including prompt optimization, query concatenation, and the use of completion caches and vector stores for efficient LLM applications.
