Leanference is a drop-in API proxy that optimizes your LLM requests automatically. Change one line of code, start saving immediately.
Everything you need to reduce AI costs at scale, with zero changes to your existing workflows.
Change your base URL, everything else stays the same. Python, JS, Ruby, Go — all supported.
Detects repeated system prompts across turns and deduplicates them. Saves up to 47% on multi-turn conversations.
Automatically enables Anthropic's 90% cache discount and OpenAI's 50% prefix caching on top of Leanference optimization.
If optimization would reduce quality below your threshold, Leanference automatically falls back to full context. Zero risk.
Track savings, quality scores, compression ratios, and request volume. See your ROI in real-time.
Save on output tokens too. Toggle concise, structured, or minimal response modes per-request. Cut output costs by 20-60% — completely opt-in, off by default.
