Why Google Gemini for this
Orqent Labs audits AI spend and typically removes 40 to 70% of it with no measurable quality loss, and we show the benchmark both ways.
Google Gemini is strongest at native multimodal input and very large context windows. For llm cost optimisation that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: less mature agentic tooling than the alternatives for complex multi-step work. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.
The honest assessment
- What it is
- Google's multimodal family, strong on image and video understanding at large context.
- Strongest at

- Trade-off

We are not a reseller for Google and hold no commission on this choice. Where a different option fits your workload better, the recommendation will say so. That is the entire value of asking us.
What is included
- Spend audit broken down by feature and by call
- Model routing so each task uses the cheapest adequate model
- Semantic caching for repeated and near-identical queries
- Prompt compression that preserves meaning
- Budget ceilings and anomaly alerts
- Quality benchmarked before and after, so savings are not silent regressions
Questions
How much can we realistically save?
Most unoptimised systems have 40 to 70% of avoidable spend, concentrated in a few features. The audit tells you the specific number for your workload before you commit to any work.
Will quality drop?
We benchmark before and after on your real tasks. Any change that measurably degrades output does not ship. That is the whole discipline.
How long does the audit take?
About a week for most systems, and it usually pays for itself in the first month after the changes land.
Alternatives for llm cost optimisation
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
