LLM Cost Optimisation with Azure OpenAI

Semantic caching pays for itself immediately in any system with repeated questions, support assistants and internal search especially.

Azure OpenAI is strongest at enterprise compliance posture and integration with existing Microsoft estates. For llm cost optimisation that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.

The honest trade-off: quota management and regional capacity can constrain scaling at short notice. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.

You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.
