Token pricing trends have accelerated to 200x/year cost decline, with Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite at $0.08/M input and GPT-5 reasoning at $15/M — a 188x spread that makes intelligent routing essential. Proven strategies: tiered model routing saves 40–50%, Anthropic prompt caching cuts 90% off cached tokens, batch processing adds 50% discount. A $12,400/month GPT-4o bot dropped to $2,100 via smart routing.
