Cloudflare cuts AI code-review inference cost 68% through optimizations

Why it matters for readers: It's an example of how small engineering changes and model choices can substantially lower AI costs.

Average cost per review fell from about $2.43 to $0.77, a 68% reduction.1
Median review latency improved from 4 minutes 9 seconds to 1 minute 32 seconds after optimizations.1
Around 40% of the savings came from changes and optimizations to the reviewer's code.1
The remainder of savings came from experimenting with which models to use and how much effort they put in.1
Cloudflare tasked its agents in mid-September to identify where tokens were being spent and to cut them aggressively.1
