console.log(data);AI Costs Are Skyrocketing for Developers
As AI usage grows, token-based billing creates unpredictable costs that can cripple projects. Here's how we solve this.
Token Billing Pain
Costs scale with usage, making budgeting impossible. Small projects can suddenly become expensive.
High Retail Markup
Individual developers pay retail rates with 10-50x markup over wholesale capacity costs.
Unpredictable Budgets
No way to predict monthly costs when traffic varies or usage patterns change.
The Solution
We developed multiple techniques to reduce AI costs. = 38-90% cost reduction.
My Cost Optimization Journey
My company was spending thousands monthly on AI APIs. I tried many approaches to cut costs:
- Smart request caching to avoid duplicate calls
- Batching similar requests for efficiency
- Load balancing across providers
- Bulk capacity purchasing
The Results
I refined these techniques through months of testing and optimization. Now I'm making them available to everyone through Tokenthon.

How it Works?
Think of our API as Amazon's fulfillment center: We aggregate massive demand, optimize the workflow behind the scenes, and deliver the final output to you cheaper than doing it yourself.
You send a request
Your application calls our endpoint just like any standard AI API. We handle authentication, routing, and validation behind the scenes.
We optimize & aggregate
We operate a large, multi-layer infrastructure that aggregates demand, balances load across dedicated capacity, and applies internal optimizations.
High-Efficiency Processing
We run our system at high volume, we can process provider calls more efficiently than individual users, delivering cheaper responses.
Clean & Ready-to-use response
We standardize the output and return a consistent, stable result without exposing you to provider limits or unpredictable billing.
Think of us as Amazon for AI
We aggregate massive demand, optimize the workflow behind the scenes, and deliver the final output to you cheaper than doing it yourself. Just like how Amazon's fulfillment center makes shipping cheaper for everyone.
Built for Production Scale
We stripped away the complexity and the markup. You get raw, high-performance AI infrastructure designed for heavy lifting.
Wholesale Pricing Model
Stop paying retail markup on every token. Save 38-90% with our flat-fee subscription model.
We aggregate demand and buy capacity in bulk, passing the savings directly to you
Request Batching & Webhooks
Built for long-running jobs. Fire-and-forget with our built-in polling and webhook infrastructure.
Our proprietary batching algorithm optimizes request aggregation to reduce API call costs by 38-90%.
Smart Response Caching
We cache identical requests automatically (10-60 mins), saving you money and returning results instantly.
Deduplication reduces redundant API calls while maintaining data freshness

Built by Developers, for Developers
We created Tokenthon after seeing how AI costs were skyrocketing for our projects. Our mission is to make powerful AI accessible to everyone at a fraction of the cost.
How This Started
We use many techniques. We started by slowly trying to implement them in my company, which already uses a large amount of AI API—and the cost is very high.
We realized that by aggregating requests and optimizing infrastructure, we could dramatically reduce costs while maintaining the same quality.
The Solution
We developed multiple techniques to reduce AI costs: request batching, smart caching, and bulk capacity purchasing. These optimizations work together to dramatically cut expenses.
We tested these approaches on our own projects first, cutting costs by 38-90%. Now we're making this technology available to everyone.

Calculate your savings based on actual usage
(Usage: 5K input + 2K output tokens per request)
Explanation
For Tokenthon GO, if you only using premium models, it gives you 3,000 requests per month for $6. In the example, we assume each API call uses 5K input tokens and 2K output tokens. With the same token usage for 3,000 requests, OpenAI would charge $78.75, while Tokenthon is only $6. So even if you only use the API 228 times, it's already worth the price.
