Recommendations
Implement Smartflow Metacache
- Immediate ROI: Save 70% on duplicate/similar requests
- Latency Reduction: 10-50ms cache responses vs 150-300ms API calls
- Cost Savings: $4.51/month based on current volume
- Scalability: Savings increase with traffic volume
Address Compliance Issues
- 2 PII/HIPAA violations detected - emails, SSN, medical data
- Implement PII filtering before AI API calls
- Use Smartflow's compliance engine to auto-block sensitive data
- Set up ServiceNow integration for automated incident creation
Optimize Model Selection
- GPT-4 costs 5x more than GPT-4o-mini - consider downgrading for simple tasks
- Claude Sonnet offers similar quality at lower cost ($0.00009 vs $0.00031)
- Use intelligent routing to select cheapest model that meets quality requirements
- Potential additional savings: 40% by optimizing model selection
Traffic Insights
Peak Usage Times
All requests occurred within 3-second window (15:12:56 - 15:12:59 UTC)
Pattern: Burst traffic suggests batch processing or testing
Request Diversity
5 different models used across 4 providers
High diversity = lower cache hit rate initially, but clustering shows optimization potential
Token Usage Pattern
Average: 26 tokens/request
Range: 15-30 tokens
Consistent small requests = ideal for caching
