LLM Cost Optimization for SaaS Companies
LLM cost optimization for SaaS companies is no longer optional — AI API bills are becoming a significant share of COGS. Distillfast cuts those bills by 80% by moving you off OpenAI and onto a private fine-tuned model you actually own.

The LLM Cost Problem — By Role
Everyone feels it differently. Here's what your team is dealing with.
Vendor lock-in, latency, and reliability
- →OpenAI outages take your product down with them — no SLA for API customers
- →US-hosted inference means 200–400ms latency for Indian and Southeast Asian users
- →Fine-tuned open models run in your VPC: no rate limits, no cold starts, predictable latency
Unpredictable USD bills with no ceiling
- →GPT-4 API costs scale with usage and USD/INR — both are outside your control
- →No committed spend discounts below $100K/month with OpenAI
- →Distillfast converts your AI cost from variable USD to fixed ₹ infrastructure
AI cost is eating your gross margin
- →AI API costs are often 20–40% of COGS for AI-heavy SaaS — killing unit economics
- →VCs and acquirers look at gross margin. "AI-native" shouldn't mean low-margin
- →Own your model → own your margin. Distillfast customers average 80% cost reduction
