Cut Your LLM Costs by 30–50%
Automatically.
ClawPipe is the cost optimization layer for LLM apps. Skip, route, cache, and compress every AI request — across OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Gemini, and more. No code rewrite.
npm install clawpipe-ai
Your AI Stack Is Bleeding Money
Every team shipping LLM features runs into the same four leaks. Most never notice until the monthly invoice lands.
Duplicate prompts
You pay the same provider twice for prompts that are 95% identical. No cache, no dedup.
Overkill models
GPT-4 answering "what day is it?" Simple tasks hit your most expensive model by default.
Wasted tokens
Uncompressed context, boilerplate headers, and redundant chunks inflate every request.
Zero visibility
You can't optimize what you can't measure. Most teams have no per-project LLM cost data.
ClawPipe fixes this automatically.
One SDK. Every Request Optimized.
Replace your provider client with pipe.prompt(). ClawPipe handles the rest — caching, routing, compression, failover — with no code rewrite and no proxy server.
import OpenAI from 'openai';
const openai = new OpenAI();
const res = await openai.chat.completions
.create({ model: 'gpt-4o', messages });
// full-price, every time
import { ClawPipe } from 'clawpipe-ai';
const pipe = new ClawPipe({ apiKey });
const { text } = await pipe.prompt(messages);
// skipped · cached · routed · compressed
What Happens to Every Request
Skip if deterministic
Math, JSON, dates, and rule-based prompts resolve without an LLM call.
Compress context
Strip boilerplate and dedup content to cut 20–60% of tokens.
Check cache
Similar prompts return cached responses in milliseconds.
Route smart
Pick the cheapest model that meets your quality bar.
Execute & learn
Track outcomes and refine routing for the next call.
Real Cost Savings. Real Numbers.
We ran 400 prompts across four workload categories (boostable, packable, simple, complex) with and without the pipeline. Here's what we measured.

Every Request, Optimized Three Ways
Cost Optimization
- Agent Booster — skip LLM calls for deterministic prompts
- Context Packing — compress tokens by 20–60%
- Semantic Cache — hash and embedding-based dedup
- Self-Learning Router — cheapest model that meets quality bar
Performance
- Sub-millisecond pipeline overhead
- Swarm orchestration — parallel multi-model queries
- Local fallback via Ollama and llamafile
- Pipeline tracing for per-stage latency analysis
Reliability
- Multi-provider failover with circuit breakers
- Automatic retries with exponential backoff
- Per-project rate limiting and budget caps
- Real-time analytics and request logs
Built for the Teams Shipping AI Today
From solo indie hackers to production infra teams, ClawPipe slots into whatever you're building.
AI SaaS
Slash your OpenAI bill without changing product UX. Per-user cost caps and usage analytics included.
Agents & Copilots
Route simple tool calls to cheap models, complex reasoning to frontier models. Automatic.
RAG Systems
Pack retrieved context to cut tokens. Cache repeated queries. Fall back across providers.
Chatbots
Cache common turns, route trivial responses away from LLMs, preserve conversational context efficiently.
Why Not Just Use LiteLLM or LangChain?
They route requests. ClawPipe optimizes them. Routers move traffic to providers. ClawPipe also skips, caches, compresses, and learns — so you pay less on every call, not just the cheapest one.

Built for Production
ClawPipe is infrastructure. It runs the same way in a solo side project and an enterprise deployment: minimal attack surface, least-privilege data handling, and full auditability.
Read the security page →- API keys stored as SHA-256 hashes — plaintext shown once, never again.
- Provider keys encrypted at rest in Cloudflare KV.
- No prompt content in telemetry. Per-project rate limits and budget caps.
- Run fully local via Ollama or llamafile — your data never leaves your infra.
- Audit logs for auth events, admin actions, and sensitive mutations.
