Analyze GPT Prompt Efficiency
Tokens are money. But more importantly, tokens are time—and wasted tokens often mean wasted developer time, misaligned outputs, and missed targets.
If you're working with GPT-3.5, GPT-4, Claude, or any OpenAI-compatible LLM, DoCoreAI helps track how efficient your prompts are. Think of it as a Prompt Analytics for Developers.
📉 Key Insight: Prompt Waste is Invisible in Logs
Retries. Output that's too long or too short. Inconsistent completions. These don’t show up as API errors—but they cost you tokens and time. DoCoreAI surfaces hidden prompt waste patterns so you can tune your design.
🧪 GPT Prompt Efficiency Metrics
- Prompt-Completion Ratio — Are you generating 800 tokens for a 10-token input?
- Regen Rate — Are you clicking 'Regenerate' too often?
- Variance — Are outputs stable, or wildly different for the same prompt?
These aren’t academic metrics. They're tied directly to wasted API usage and team productivity. See the demo dashboard for real examples.
📊 PyPI Downloads → Dashboard Insights
Devs install the open-source DoCoreAI client via pip, and data starts flowing to the dashboard in minutes. PyPI downloads → dashboard insights in real time.
🧠 The Executive View
Most execs don’t care about prompt structure—they care about how much money is being burned on experiments. Our executive-level charts help translate token burn into actual time and cost impact.
🏥 Prompt Health as a Concept
We coined "prompt health" to describe signals like stability, retry rate, overgeneration, underuse of token budget, and more. You can now track prompt health signals just like API performance.
⚡ Quick Wins for Improving Efficiency
- Use shorter system prompts with stronger context injection
- Cap max_tokens aggressively unless creative expansion is needed
- Apply temperature based on task—see our temperature tuning guide
🍱 Context Diet: Prompt Efficiency as Compression
If you think of context as your meal budget, prompt efficiency is about protein-per-token. We’ve seen projects go from 2x cost to 0.5x cost by just tightening prompt structure.
