The 80% rule
Data from real usage shows that 60-70% of API calls can drop one model tier with no quality loss. An Opus call that could run on Sonnet saves 80%.
How recommendations work
Tokeven analyzes your usage patterns to identify:
- •Task complexity — simple tasks (classification, extraction) rarely need top-tier models
- •Response patterns — short, structured responses don't benefit from larger models
- •Historical success — if similar prompts succeeded on cheaper models before
