About the Event
This 45-minute webinar, titled “Stop Paying for Tokens You Don’t Need: Cost Control for LLM and Agent Traffic,” examines the operational challenge of managing token expenditure across teams and applications. Hosted by Gravitee’s Technical Product Marketing Manager and Director of Product Management, the session focuses on why token costs accumulate and how organizations can gain visibility into consumption patterns.
Token Cost Drivers
The webinar identifies several sources of token waste that often go unnoticed. Rather than stemming from single large prompts, costs typically accumulate through inefficient agent loops, duplicate tool calls, oversized context windows, and unnecessary use of premium models. Understanding these patterns is essential for organizations seeking to control expenses as LLM usage scales.
API Gateway-Based Cost Control
The session demonstrates why managing token usage at the API gateway level provides an effective control point. This approach enables organizations to monitor consumption, enforce rate limits and quotas, and route requests across different LLM providers based on workload requirements. Gravitee’s platform is presented as a solution for implementing these controls across teams and models.
Who Should Attend
The webinar targets technical and product leaders in enterprises with significant AI or API infrastructure. Relevant roles include API managers, platform engineers, DevOps practitioners, IT architects, and product managers responsible for LLM deployments. Organizations struggling with visibility into token spend or seeking to scale cost management across multiple teams will find the content applicable.
