Cost Optimizer

Tracks cumulative LLM costs across DAG execution and makes real-time decisions to stay within budget: downgrade models, skip optional nodes, or stop early.

When to Use

✅ Use for:

• Setting and enforcing cost budgets for DAG executions
• Real-time cost monitoring during execution
• Deciding when to downgrade model tiers mid-execution
• Identifying which nodes are most expensive and why
• Post-execution cost analysis and optimization recommendations

❌ NOT for:

• Choosing which model to use per node (use llm-router)
• Provider pricing comparisons (static data, not a skill)
• Billing or invoicing features
